Mary's Story
Life
My name is now Mary-Kaye Buchtel. I live in Lakewood,Colorado with my husband, Bill Starkey, and our 3 parrots and 6 rabbits. Although officially "retired", I spend a lot of time volunteering for the Colorado House Rabbit Society as their webmaster. Since my career was as a programmer, systems analyst, and DP Manager, sometimes I wonder if I'm REALLY retired after all. The only difference between a real job and volunteer work may be the pay scale - which now is $0, of course.
We have a G-scale railroad in our backyard complete with flowers, seating enclaves, bird feeders, and ZERO grass, so gardening is a big deal for us. I am an oil painter and exhibit in local galleries, although I find little enough time to paint! The gardens and birds visiting our yard ...Expand for more
provide a lot of inspiration, tho.
We have 2 granddaughters, born in '90 and '91, who both delight us. Misty lives in Indiana so we don't get to see her nearly often enough. Kalli lives here, so we see her often. She shares my interest in art. She has painted with me and we work on Encaustic projects together.
Bill still works as an engineer at Lockheed Martin. His retirement beckons, but is still a few years off. Besides the above interests we both share, he enjoys golfing.
Although we love to travel, the last several years have found us tied down with family responsibilities. Our idea of a vacation recently has been a weekend getaway to Estes Park. We look forward to getting back to places we've loved and visiting new-to-us parts of the world in coming years.
