I'm a native Kansan, growing up in Tonganoxie, Kansas. I haven't ventured very far from home in my lifetime, as I attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, and now live on a farm between Basehor and Tonganoxie. I love to travel and have been to some really fun, exotic places, but home truly is where my heart is. I love being able to live on a farm, but be within no more than an hour's drive away from just about any cultural enrichment activity you can imagine in Kansas City, Lawrence, or Topeka. I have a great husband, Joe, and a wonderful son, John. John works as a chemical engineer in San Leandro, CA, although he may soon be moving with his job to Frankfort, Germany. Joe, like me, is currently retired, after working many years as a registered sanitarian with our county's health department. He ended his career with a venture into politics, serving as a county commissioner. I taught seventh graders the joys of Literature and English for 29 of 32 years, and taught third graders my first 3 years. I loved teaching, but am now able to pursue many of my interests beyond the world of education. Teachers love to learn as much as they love to teach!
Don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't see that coming! Howdy, neighbor!
