Jana's Story

What a life!! Full of adventure, joys, children (4), grandchildren (9), 30 years of travel with a major airline (still travel), a couple of marriages, the last for 25 years before losing him to a motorcycle accident. I've managed to survive and grow from many life happenings, breast cancer 18 years ago, shockingly widowed after 25 wonderful years, then a new man from the senior dating pool who passed on too soon to cancer. Still hope to spend these golden years with a special partner. I've been there done most from, bungee jumping off the original site of the sport in S. Island New Zealand, sky diving, spending 3 weeks to a month in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Central Europe, Russia and many more countries for shorter periods. Just back from a trip to India to see the Taj Mahal. Traveling to such wonderful world cites they became second cities to me (Hong Kong, Paris, London, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney and attending 3 Olympic Games) Many years sailing the waters of the Northwest, living on Lake Sammamish and up early to ski the still water while it was like glass, priceless! Then moving to a floating home on Lake Union with downtown minutes away and views that were incredible, next living a...Expand for more
board a lovely yacht (360 degrees of waterfront!) All the usual activities and a lot more, but now have fallen for golf and Wahoo! Won my local Ladies Club Championship up north this summer (2010). Golfing in Ireland and Scotland including The Old Course at St. Andrews was like walking on hallowed ground! I've managed to squeeze in a few more activities along life's highway like attain my commercial multi engine pilots license and flew my own plane for years; return to college several times, the last a couple of years ago to play on the Jr. College Women's golf team and win a spot to Jr. College nationals in Florida (not bad for the 'Grandmother' of the seven local colleges in PHX!) Yes I do still migrate north for some summer cool-down but most of the year I live in the desert near Phoenix, of course on a golf course, where the sunshine is warm and wonderful all winter long. Blessed with great family, great health and friends and most of the time can't believe I'm a day over 40. The hardest times are losing loved ones or friends and that unfortunately is happening more frequently. Life is great except for finding someone special to share it with. See you all for the big 50th!! Jana
