You could describe me as wife, sister, daughter, mother and friend.  As of April 2010 you can also call me a grandmother.  I've had a long and memorable career and right now I'm enjoying retirement.

One of my never ending challenges is being a caregiver to my elderly parents.  There are needs to be attended to almost on a daily basis.

Dieting has been a never ending challenge for me since my late teenage years.  I’ve finally learned that it’s not only what you eat, it is the quantity of what you eat makes a big difference in any weight loss program.  Getting at least 30 minutes of exercise each day is also fundamental. 

My latest diet started at the end of March and have lost 35 pounds so far.   It feels good to lose that much weight and look much younger again.  I tell you this not to brag, but rather so can understand I know how difficult it can be to lose weight. 

I love hanging out with my family & friends and entertaining.  We get together with our friends quite often and we go out for dinner with them whenever we get a chance. 

Working in the garden is another of my favorite hobbies.   It is very rewarding growing my own herbs and veggies, which I use all the time in my recipes. 

I hope you enjoy some of the Hubs and recipes which II will be sharing with you.
