Barbara's Story

Life What have I been up to for the last 30 years??? Hmm...Got married young...22... to a guy even younger...21 and moved to Nova Scotia...Suffered for many years as a navy wife while working (Sears) and raising 3 sons (like the latter isn't enough work). Hubby was away a lot (months at a time, to places like Egypt, Israel, the Caribbean, Greece, Somalia). Moved to Kingston when my husband was transferred, got a job (Sears again)...continued raising 3 sons...not stressed enough so I enrolled at Queens University and got my BA in Health Studies. Again, followed my husband when he was transferred to Toronto, got a job (Sears yet again)...only this time we left one kid behind (He's 27...good lord I feel old). Living in Oakville, commuting to Toronto. Crawled my way up the corporate ladder to become a marketing manager at Sears Canada (putting that health degree to good use). Two years ago we moved to Grimsby...dropped off 2 more kids (twins, 25, both joined the military and are in the same unit). A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes (finally did get to use the health degree), felt sorry for myself and then decided I needed a lot more adventure so I've begun to try a lot different things. A few examples... Swam with stingrays in the Cayman Islands ...Expand for more
Held an assortment of boa constrictors, pythons, alligators (baby) and a tarantula White water rafted...what a rush! Threw a coin in the Trevi fountain Leaned against both the Roman Coliseum and the pyramids of Giza...awesome! Haggled with merchants in the San Blas Islands, Venezuela, Columbia and Tunisia Drank Sangria in Spain, Lemoncello in Capri, rum in Barbados, wine in Paris, and Tequila in Mexico Ate pizza on the streets of Genoa, gelato in Sicily, dasheen in St. Lucia ...and I have never seen such over the top, outrageous opulence as I did in Monaco...mega yachts...Lambourghinis...Ferraris...I wish. Did get a Mitsubishi Spyder convertible for the big 5-0, though...he owed me big... Enjoying the new place in Grimsby...garden...17 fruit trees. I'm becoming quite self sufficient. Pat (Hubby) retired from the military 2 years ago although he has a job still working for the government. I commute daily to my job in Toronto...yes I'm nuts...and I count the days 'till I can retire to a less demanding existence (work-wise)...I still have a lot to cross off my to-do list...tattoo...Ankor Wat...tandem skydive (kids almost got me that for my last birthday...I question their motives) Later...
