Valerie's Story
Hello!!Thank you for visiting MY profile-Have to say, I do love all your photos etc and miss all of you-
About me: I attended Seaside Elementary'69, South High '73, El Camino College '80, San Diego State University?? Still intend to finish-
I was married for 12 years, am divorced somewhat amicably, and content being a good friend and sister to all, unless the Good Lord decides differently-not a G'Ma yet :)??
I like to sew, walk, swim, used to surf till Nov 2011(Accident on treadmill left shoulder hanging in pieces), had it repaired surgically, but permanent instability ensued and it came out 6 more times, 2x in ocean, so even tho I swam competitively at div 1 level in colleges, I now swim very sloooow and carefully w fins-
My last snow ski trip was 2005 to Brianhead Utah, with my son and friends, and THIS girl still snow plows down the bunny hills because I break when I fall-:)
Mostly employed as a breakfast n lunch and catering server, then as I could, ...Expand for more
moved into an opticianry assistant, a glorified retail gal Friday w eyeglass frames for quite a few years, before getting very ill-having had Systemic Lupus since 15, I have had my share of "almost" hospital stays, BUTT, still here and still stoked to get out and about
My son is 27 and lives in Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe, I am here in Encinitas CA living simply and enjoying friends and neighbors and family while I still can, focusing on great nutrition
and relaxed attitudes w//o compromising morals or standards-
My sisters Deb and Nat are still with us, Debbie in San Pedro, and Nat in Petaluma, my brother Duff is between Redondo and Torrance w his kids and my mom. My father Mr Gray,(he was your 6-7-8th grade VP at Riviera and Newton) passed in Oct 2006 of lung cancer, and my mom is between her ranch in Jacksonville Oregon and Sharynne Lane in Torrance.
So, to conclude this monotonous monologue,, Stay tuned- Story still unfolding-Much Love and Aloha to all-
