ecord, of course) since I've been here, but hey...I'm a Hurricane Expert, right? (Remember Donna and Cleo?!) Two hours north of Seattle. Four miles east of Puget Sound. Truly breathtaking, and not a moment goes by that I don't acknowledge it. I'm really into gardening, and somewhat of an herbalist with over 35 varieties, I even make my own potpourri and herbal teas. Go figure! Those "Mother Earth" years in Boston weren't wasted after all! My husband Jamey is a Captain for Delta, so if you're on a flight, you need to ask if Jamey is in the cockpit, he's the only one with that name. He'll make sure you get a free drink if you mention you know me. But only if you say hi and tell him you remember what a GREAT gal I was! LOL! When not farming, I have a little antique business that is more fun than profitable at this point. I have a consignment booth in a country store, so it's the best of both worlds. The owner has the 9-5 business hassles, and I get the profits!! Not much, but what I do get goes to fund a support group that I started for women with bleeding disorders. It originated in Washington State but has now gone national, and lo and behold, for everyone who has ever chastised me for talking too much, guess what? I am now getting paid to do just that!! I talk to groups who are interested in forming their own chapters of women with bleeding disorders, and help them get started. It's my passion. I'm also co-writing a book about the psychosocial issues that impact women with hemophilia. Should be out in a year. Well, if any of you who are reading this and remember me and want to say hi, I'd be delighted to hear from you. Better yet, stop by. I'm about as far from Miami as you can get and still be on the continent, but we love visitors, and with a little advance notice, will even fluff the comforter on the guest bed! I plan on attending the 35th reunion next July and hope to see alot of you then. God Bless!
