Life
In 1996, my husband Jack and I built on property in East Union across from the house I grew up in. It's a wonderful trip down memory lane, but often I wish that I had lived here while my mother was still alive and would have been a stone's throw away.
I have three beautiful children, two girls and a boy, or I guess I should say two women and a man. Fortunately, my daughters live close by with their children and we see them weekly. My son lives in Boston with his wife and new son. Though I miss him, I am very proud of his career as a computer scientist at Harvard Smithsonian Institute. My oldest daughter works (too hard) as a secretary at her two daughters' school, that school would fall apart without her. My youngest daughter is now a full time mother at home with her two daughters and new son.
I still work full time as a social worker. I hope to retire in a few years. My husband is retired and is anxious ...Expand for more
for me to join him.
My favorite part of my life is watching my grandchildren grow and being their "Mema" who denies them nothing. Holding those babies has been the highlight of these twilight years.
Workplace
After receiving an MEd, from Boston College, in Peripatology, I became an itinerant teacher of orientation, mobility to blind students,in the community, in the State of New Jersey. Following marriage and beginning a family, in 1971, I joined the staff of Tennessee School for the Blind where I again was an O&M instructor with K-12, until 1983. In 1984, following an on the job accident, I returned to Maine where I worked as a social worker in Adult Protective Services with the State of Maine until last August when I retired on disability. Currently, I am retired and serving as child care grandmother for my two daughters five children. My son is in Rhode Island so I am missing the growing up of his two children. I am married to a Phi Beta Kappa from Penn State who was a successful songwriter in Nashville among other endeavors. Are you familiar with "Skip A Rope"?
