My Family
Sadly, my husband passed away in 2015 after years of ill health and finally a brain hemorrhage due to long-term use of blood thinners. While it was a shock to us all, I thank God for taking him quietly and peacefully as he so deserved. Our two daughters and their families are the center of my life, I have two wonderful parents back home and a brother who gave me a wonderful sister-in-law and a very talented and funny niece and nephew. Alas, after having lived in the US over 50 years, I no longer have a British accent - UNTIL I get together with them that is...then it's like I never left the UK! My mother would have me tell you about how they always saved enough money so they could visit me every single year since 1975, knowing I could not afford to come home very often. I am eternally grateful to them for not letting distance come between us and for keeping our family from drifting apart. Now that they are getting up in age, I think I will be the one to visit them more often than not.

I have two beautiful daughters and three crazy beautiful grandgirls. I love them all so much, equally and unconditionally. Each one has their own talent and unique personality, and I can proudly say they all LOVE spending time with Grandma! What more could a woman want?

My Work
I know now I really should have been a teacher! Instead, I opted into nursing at the age of 18. Once I received my license in the U.K. I moved to the U.S. in 1975. I worked as a nurse for 9 years but wasn't too happy with the hours. So I left nursing, decided I would be a stay at home Mom and quickly realized that wasn't going to work. I worked a few two-bit jobs then landed a great position as a lab clerk for a very prominent and successful pharma company in South Fort Worth, where I soon found myself smack dab in the middle of the great, new computer-age. Yes! I'd finally found my passion!
I tried it, I studied it, I learned so much that before long I was building databases for everyone trying to keep track of their paperwork. Far be it from me to not take the plunge and learn something new, because with that, I fulfilled my thirst for knowledge and was able to put it to work and see the fruits of my labor. I was so happy! I went on to become Quality Systems Analyst, Product Standards Manager, Documentation Manager and I finally retired as Training Manager in 2008 and I had loved every minute of it.
I retired with the knowledge that I was never really gong to stop working. I just wanted more learning and new challenges. I did return to work on contract to complete some big projects for my old company, while also figuring out how to build myself an internet business. So here I am! Happy with my successful online store, but still with a yearning to learn something new and now I can help others along the way. SOMEBODY STOP ME!
