Lorraine's Story

I got married at age 18 to my x-hub, Charlie. We had 2 beautiful children, Paula and Jeff. Jeff works in the Aerospace Ind. and has 2 children, Julia and Jakob. He is living alone now, and has half custody of his children. I got divorced at at 39 and was dating for 2 yrs. before I met the love of my life. We met in a bar, and when I heard his English accent, I instantly fell in love. We dated for 2 yrs. and got married 23 yrs. ago. We have fun going on cruises every year. I worked for about 20 yrs. when my health made me disabled. One of my several jobs was a make-up artist. I also worked for Waring Products in the computer room, and at Aetna as a key punch operator. I worked for Timex for a while, and then The Hartford, as a secretary for 4 Analysts and a Portfolio Manager. I am a member of the Torrington Woman's Club, Inc. GFWC. I am currently the treasurer, soon to be the recording Secretary. I volunteer by tutoring in reading and grammar for elementary school children. My specialty is Dyslexia, and I have 1 adult who I helped get her GED,. She is also dyslexic. I also drive Senior Citizens (who me?) to and from the Cancer Center, and to their appointments. I go to a lot of functions for the Club and have a lot of Conventions. I am going to the New England GFWC Convention in Maine in Sept. In Oct,. we are going on a cruise to Bermuda with my sister and her husband. This will be our 17th cruise. We have been to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Panama Canal, Hawaii, and numerous other islands and countries. I also dabble in acrylic painting and some gardening. Well, we live in a C...Expand for more
ondo Community and I am on the Communications Committee as well as the Rules and Reg. Committee. Our Community is on a golf course, and down the hill is where we live facing the woods. We love it here, and are slowly doing updates. We did the kitchen over with granite counters and a beautiful glass back-splash. My husband painted the cabinets white and put in light colored laminate floors. We put gas in our fireplace and put a surround around it that looks like different pieces of stone. We had a mantel made that just pushes onto the top. Of course we paint every few years, and I made all the wood surrounding the doors and the floor to look like dark oak wood. We are proud of all the changes we made. Next thing is the upstairs bathroom, and a new wood floor downstairs. I have a few health problems which makes it hard for me to do a lot lately. I am having an operation on my neck because of 2 ruptured discs, and a couple of bone spurs, as well as stenosis of the spine and arthritis. I have lost 2 inches in height. My husband has 2 children and they each have 3 children. So with 8 grandchildren, Christmas is expensive. They always like money. lol. My daughter is a Police Officer in New Britain for 10 yrs. now. She has a Police Lieutenant for a boyfriend, but has her own home in New Britain. We have a dog, a Papillon, named Obi Wann Kanobi, He is 13 now and our baby. We take him with us when in the car in his little car seat so he can see out the window and not roam around in the car. He loves riding in the car. He goes with me everywhere during the day, to the store and Dr. appts. Guess that's all for now.
