<p>I'm currently the manager of a jazz lounge / supper club. I have been married for a little over 12 years. My husband is a blacksmith, yup a real blacksmith. I still enjoy watching him work. Although we live on the outskirts of the city , I would love to move a little further into the country. One day I hope to open a bed and breakfast or a small tea shop...well I can dream about it.<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p>
