Juanita's Story

Divorced and have returned to work for County Clerk's Office. Boss and co-workers are great and easy to work with. Have returned to quiet lifestyle caring for the house and my two dogs (my babies) in their senior years. Daughter lives close by and is a lot of company. Son still lives in Denver but we talk often - miss him. Used to work at various locations across 42 states for 2wk to 1yr assignments as Project Office Manager on larger petroleum pipeline short term projects. Was fun and enjoyable. May take it back up again in a few years, but for now am staying home. My permanent home is in Raton, NM - a small town of about 7,000 people in NE New Mexico on I-25 at the bottom of Raton Pass. I have a 'money pit' old victorian beast that just loves to absorb money and time. I have 2 beautiful grown children. My son Ken, lives in Denver and does Videography of legal depositions as well as repair and maintenance of related video equipment and is the only authorized service dealer for Steno-write machines for court reporting. His wife is a court reporter. He is into Golf, Scuba diving/instructor, and generally very busy. He keeps wanting me to take up golf and diving but I just don't seem to find the time. I have 5 grandchildren (3 of my own + 2 step) and 3 great-step grandchildren, and Ken has a grown daughter Tiffany, who lives with her mom in San Antonio TX and a step-daughter Valerie, who lives near he and his wife with a new little boy of her own. His step-son Jason, lives in Missippi near his maternal grandfater with 2 young children. Miss my Ti...Expand for more
ffany very much - havn't seen or got to talk with her for about 14 years. My daughter Becky is married with two teenage boys and lives in my home town of Raton, NM. She takes care of my home whenever I'm away. I went to school for computer programing and did tech support and training for many years. Had a 9yr 'Significant Other' relationship after divorce from my first husband (who has since passed away). 4 years ago I was working in the New Mexico county clerk's office as a Deputy Elections Clerk when I met my 3rd husband Sam, who convinced me to run away to work on pipelines and live like a gypsy in a 5th wheel. Loved traveling all over and seeing places I've never had time or money to go to before. It was so much fun to email a new 'Gypsy Report' to my friends and family when we changed locations. We got sent out on different assignments - Sam to the Tri-state area around Chicago, IL/IN/Mich and some Tennessee. I spent 4 winter months in North Dakota and 8 1/2 months in San Jose, Calif. Just too much time apart I suppose - killed our relationship. My two small Shippoo's traveled with me and loved the beaches. Stayed same size I was in high school until a back injury and subsequent thyroid problems about 13 years ago. Don't recognize myself and still can't get the weight back off. It's depressing, but I keep trying - finally dropped 10 pounds over 8 months of strict dieting and exercise. Ugh - at this rate I'll be a crypt keeper ready for a 'dirt nap' as Burgess Meridith said before I get half of it off. Otherwise, my life is calm and busy.
