Here we are forever young!! After graduating I did the army. I was a secretary for a major in the finance unit. Mainz Germany. Man do I got war stories, lol. Met my husband & Cali here I come.. went to college. I’ve been a civil servant working for the county mental health system, sheriff dept, v.a hospital, Cali trans roads, school district, finally 20 yrs running the operation of the county welfare mailroom, copy center, supplies. Finally retirement. Been to 5 countries, visited over 25 states & lived in 6 states settling in Cali. My husband worked Beatrice cheese in whey plant. He died of cancer in 2002. We have 2 girls. I have 1 granddaughter. She is 10 yrs & is a competitive dancer in our state competitions. She attends st Anthony. Her mom worked for att for 18 yrs be fore becoming disabled. My daughter suffered a spinal cord injury so 1 granddaughter it is. My son in law mange’s the pacific west coast for a company that cleans water for the environment. My other daughter homeless vet, suffers with ptsd. 5 yrs army firefighter with a yr tour in Iraq in 2003. Not a good outcome. If you’re wondering, yes, I did always walk...Expand for more
the edge of wildness, there were times in my life I look back & know it was by the grace of god I’m still alive, & always had a job, a roof & food!! I never left the spiritual path. I donate my time or whatever to st Anthony & the community center in our small farm labor community quick story- one Christmas I bought 12 pizzas, cases of water. Took my granddaughter & my homeless kid out to a homeless encampment. I backed in the edge told my daughter just in case we have leave in a hurry. I opened the back yelled merry Christmas come have pizza. All these homeless came out of their tents towards us. My heart was beating. Then 2 of the guys said hey Liz, to my daughter & then I knew she had my back & all was good. My granddaughter got an eyeful at age 8. The 1 thing in life that always makes me smile and keeps me emotionally grounded has been music. I took my granddaughter her parents to Motown In Detroit. Yes, I do come back now & then to tube down the au sable river, & tour mi. We did a family road trip from Cali to mi & back. Told you l lived on the edge. Lol. Life is good. Share your stories with me, we have lots to tell!!! Lots to laugh about!!!!!
