After high school I worked as a dental assistant for a couple of years before lucking into an interview with Alaska Airlines. They were just changing their advertising from a gold rush theme to a "more modern" one with, get this, hot pants and black polyester uniforms. No, really!

So in keeping with that they wanted to hire a bunch of new young "stewardesses". Yep, I made the cut. After nearly 29 years of ups and downs (yes, I said it). I finally retired when I was offered a lot of money to go away. I took the first buy out as, according to management, us "oldies but goodies" were making too much money. Well, not enough by my way of thinking for what the job entailed, but there you have it.

I know that it is a cliché, but I did in fact meet my husband at work. I had 10 years seniority on him, but you gotta admit, he is a cutey. Anyway, he is an ex-navy pilot as well as retired commercial pilot from Alaska Airlines.

As a working adult I was finally able to make my fantasy of owning a horse come true. My first horse was an off the track thoroughbred named Redwood Star and I loved him tremendously. He taught me a lot and I will miss him forever. After he went home, I had to wait a few months before I was able to even think about getting another horse. I finally did and she is the polar opposite of my big red guy. But, she is the best.

By getting myself involved with horses, it was a natural progression to the horse rescue that I am now involved with. We are small, but we are able to help where there is a need. I won't go into any more detail here, but, if you are at all interested, please check my facebook page or that of the rescue, Sunrise Equine Rescue.

I have always been a "crafter" so with so many to choose from, I sort of have tried them all, except scrap booking. All of the others that I do are entirely to addictive as it is. Thus, my journey to machine embroidery, which I Love!!

Besides a husband and a horse, I have had the pleasure of sharing my home with a multitude of cats over the years. We are down to 3 at the moment and that's just fine.

I have a stepson and wonderful granddaughter and several terrific nieces and nephews that I adore.

We live on the south shore of Hood Canal and refer to it as our mental rehab center.

Enough for now, maybe more later, or not.
