About me
I am the proud mother of two grown sons and Grandmother to seven beautiful grandchildren. I have been married for 38 years to my best friend in the world, Neill. I started working when I was 17 years old at Shaklee Products. When the boys were young I worked at home assembling toy animals. I could make $14 an hour making Kangaroos! *lol* I owned my own printing/graphics business in the 80's. I sold the business after 5 years and went to work for Hayward Unified School District for 15 years. In 2000 I left the school district and worked for Sun Microsystems until I resigned in April of 2003.

I'm a little too young to be "retired," but I live a "retired life!"

Currently when I'm not out enjoying the out of doors or traveling, I do some sub work for Hayward Unified School District. I love my life.
