Paula's Story
What have I been up to: Life
I've lived in the Las Vegas Valley for 50 years. Before that I wandered from Whidbey to Ohio, Nebraska, New York, Arkansas, Illinois, California. Met my second husband at the Scotch Mist Nightclub in Chicago, he was playing guitar and I was a cocktail waitress. That's how I got to Vegas.

I also belong to a sociable wine study group -- we take drinking seriously and sample new wines every week. I live happily in my own home with three cats. My three kids are self-supporting, bless 'em, and live in Austin, TX; Orlando, FL, and Diamondhead, MS (50 minutes east of New Orleans). I have four grandchildren and one more expected in January. My goal, if alive and well, is to have a summer home on Whidbey when I tire of traveling.
