Hello all! It is really great to see all of you here! I moved with my Mom to Pacific Grove (Monterey Peninsula)when I was 15. What a beautiful place, and so different from L.A. I went to high school there, and actually graduated from H.S. in Renton, WA, where I lived for a few months. It was funny, I was "The California Girl" there! I returned to Monterey, went to Monterey Peninsula College, transfered & moved across the bay to UC Santa Cruz. I graduated with a B.A in art & also psychology. I lived in Santa Cruz till 1982, then moved to Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, for several years. While living in Mexico, I worked for a company that sold and installed satellite dishes. I traveled all over the Mexico, met many people from all over. I guess you could say I brought MTV to the third world! (That was a good thing in the 80's!) I returned to California, and moved to where my entire family had relocated, to the area around Auburn, CA. It's very beautiful here, we have the canyon, rivers, lakes, we are close to Tahoe, & about 40 minutes to the snow. I worked as a graphic artist & designer, learned Photoshop & other programs when computer graphics became the way to get things done! I met my current husband, Charlie, in 1993 in Nevada City, purely by accident, since he was only working there for a couple of days.(Lucky me!) We are the same age, born in '53. We have a wonderful, funny, intelligent and tall (6'3") 14 year old son named Erik....Expand for more
