Penny's Story
Life
My Spouse
I met Chuck, June 9th., 1969 at Formost McKesson, where we were
both working as lab technicians. He is from the class of "65" from Hortonville High School. He went to UW-Madison and has worked for Dean Foods as a Quality Control Supervisor for 37 years and he is looking to retire at 63 years of age, as he feels that his job is conflicting with his hobby interests.
He bikes long distances, 100 miles a day, kayaks, and plays piano. He has blue eyes and silver hair, and we call him, "The Silver Fox." I think he might be smarter than me and he is certainly quieter. He can have a good time and he is a great dancer and a really good father to our three children.
My Pets
I have three gerbils and my husband has a fish tank.
My Kids
Brian is 34 and works as an architect in Washington, DC. For the previous 9 years he lived in Seattle, Washington, where he went for his masters and then worked for several years.
Michael is 31, married to his girlfriend, Lyndsay, and presently lives in Chicago. He lived in NYC from 2001 to 2006. He works for Aon in Chicago. Sarah is 18 and she is a Freshman at UW-Whitewater majoring in Pyschology.
Grandchildren
I have one, Moxie, and she will be one year old on December 31, 2009.
My Job
I recently lost my job of over three years, due to a planned renovation. I am...Expand for more
looking for flexible part-time work. I usually work in sales: inside retail is most recent.
I work as a freelance reporter/photographer for Southern Lake Newspapers, a group of weekly papers located in and around Walworth County. I have done this type of work since 2001.
I also submit many of my photos to local publications and I do a bit of consignment art work, such as murals, banners, window splashes and portraits.
I waitressed for a private country club called Abbey Springs until March '03. I was a career server for the last 26 years. I also have a Marketing degree and do freelance art work.
Interests
My daughter and I are active in community theater. I have been in "Romeo and Juliet", "Seven Brides and Seven Brothers", "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "Miracle Worker" and "Christmas Carol" (5 times) "Best Christmas Pagaent Ever," "Our Town" and "Little Women." I was in "Carousel" in May 2008 and I hope to do a show as soon as my schedule allows.
I also love photography and gardening. I ride my bike or walk around the area.
Health Challenges
I was diagnosed with fibromyagia in June 2000 and I am a bit sicker every year. I also have asthma, allergies and sensitivities. My attitude is pretty good and I am hanging in there. As long as I have my hair, my teeth and my sense of humor, I will be ok...
