p official August 6th, 2011.
I retired from full time teaching in June 2006.
I have been to the U.S (a lot), several countries in Europe Japan (2007) and the UAE (2008-2012).
I have a great family (biological as well as "adopted") and continue to be privileged in having a fabulous partner in life.
I have a couple of really, really close to my heart "kindred spirits" (You know who you are). I have lots of close friends and enjoy their company.
I like me.
We have 9 cats of or own in residence currently as well as 2 who belong to my "bro": 2 Korats, 3 Tonkinese, a Norwegian Forest Cat, a Turkish Angora, 2 Arabian Mau and his 2 Abyssinians. My husband and I were into breeding and showing cats from 1995 to 2005.
I sat on the Board of the American Cat Fanciers' Association as Director for Eastern Canada for almost 9 years.
My cats mostly like me. :-)
People either like me or don't like me. If people like me, that is fine. If people don't like me, that is their choice and I won't sweat it.
I love John, cats and dogs, using y technology, traveling, friends, most music and biking.
I ride a 2006 Yamaha V Star 1100 Silverado. I am a life member of American Motorcycle Association, a Life member of Motor Maids, Inc. and belong to a Yamaha V Star riders' group. I also own a 1973 BMW R75/5.
