Patricia Eno:  

Life Since 1970, my husband, Pierre, & I have been living in Northwestern Vermont near Lake Champlain. I began my own bookkeeping business in 1981 and am still active in that. My husband retired two years ago after over 30 years in the printing industry. He is also an artist, musician and writer. We have a son and a daughter and three grandsons. We had two Lhasa Apso dogs, until last week, when we lost our female to liver cancer. The male dog is also sick with thyroid cancer and we will probably lose him soon. We also have inherited two male Maine Coon cats from my mother and brother, Laurie, whom many of you will remember. They are brothers, now 12 yrs old, and were foundlings in Revere. I could not put them up for adoption as they have never been with any people other than our family. We have been through a lot of losses in the last couple of years, but most devastating was the loss of my mother in Jan. 2003, and then, shockingly, Laurie last April (2004). One photo I have posted is one of Laurie & I at his 50th surprise birthday pool party in 1998, in my yard. My husband and I co-purchased the house next door to us in 1995 so that my mother, who was totally disabled at the time, could come here to live. (Laurie had been acting as her primary caregiver in Revere at the time, and it was much too difficult a job for a single man.) We enjoyed the next 8-9 years here and they never regretted coming to this state to live. Laurie "computerized" me and I will be forever grateful for that. My mother got to enjoy her first home ever and had a great deal of fun "personalizing it"...Expand for more
