Shirley's Story
I left Houston for Austin, TX , then to Memphis, TN, then to Atlanta, GA and then settled in Virginia since 1989. I have enjoyed traveling/living/working in the cities mentioned. Enjoying the different areas culture. All moves have been for career advancement in the residential mortgage lending industry. I met my husband Rick in Atlanta and we moved to Virginia. We are/have been DINKS (double income no kids). We do enjoy OPK's though (other peoples kids) My sister has shared her 2 girls over the years. My niece Elyse lives here in VA and her sister Laura lives 3 hours away in Pennyslvania, while my sister Cindy and her husband are empty nesters in Chareston, South Carolina Rick and I are avid Harley riders and not only enjoy riding through the countrysides of Virginia, Maryland and Pennyslvania but also participate in our HOG group patriotic events such as Ride of the Patriots to Rolling Thunder in DC every Memorial Day weekend.

f Rolling Thunder in DC in the late 80's is what sealed the deal for us getting our's.... We also enjoy golf right in our backyard as our home backs to the #2 T-boxes, in a gated golf and country club community of 600 acres with 1,100 homes on the Potomac river.. Has hiking and biking trails as well as swim and tennis. We are active adults for sure. We have traveled abroad to Germany, France, the UK and planning Italy soon, but the US is always going to be our home. Love to vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Rico, Aruba and the Bahamas as well as at Smith Mountain Lake which is near Roanoke and Lynchburg, VA and Lake Norris in TN. I have also traveled back to Texas for the fun events like family weddings and sadly some funerals. I have always said you can take the girl out of Texas but not the Texas out of the girl and I am told I stil have my accent...... Look forward to visiting Texas again this year and hope we can all get together for a 40th reunion!
