I've been married for 27 years to my husband Mark. We have 2 daughters, Stephanie(22) and Lauren (20). Mark and I love to go to our house up north and work on our remodeling project, which has gone on for the last 6 1/2 years. Someday we'll be done.

Pet(s)
I have 2 labrador retrievers, Lashes and Shadow. Lashes is a yellow lab and is my personal favorite. Shadow is a pretty funny guy and you can put hats boas, and sunglasses on him and he just sits there!
Too funny! I also have a "grandpuppy" Pipsqueak, who is Lauren's dog. She's half yellow lab & half golden retriever. |
I have "Reduated"!!!!!

After 4 years of being a " Lady in Waiting", I am finally a true Red Hat Lady! Woohoo! It seems like this has been a very long journey for me and I am very happy! My Reduation included a "Bridging Ceremony" in which I walked across a local bridge here in town with 5 other ladies from my chapter with stops included as they each read a Red Hat Reduation poem to me. It was wonderful, despite my fear of heights! I will post pictures later.
Happy Red Hatting!

Happy 2009 to all my QMB2 Friends! I can't believe that's it's January already. A time for new beginnings and adventures for us. I will reduate in just 2 months and 2 days. That is something I've been looking forward to since I joined the RHS. It's finally just around the corner! I am sitting in the great room of my second home up in Cook, MN right now, watching the snowfall. It's been snowing for 4 hours. I need to get outside and take some pictures, it's really amazing to see the huge piles of snow we have here. We have accomplished quite a bit of work here in '08. I even was able to paint walls! It's the small things in life that make this whole project worthwhile. Now the question is will we ever be able to leave the Twin Cities and live here? With the economy like it is, there are no jobs to be had in this area, so we'll have to stay put for a while anyway. Here's to a fine 2009!
