What's Up:
I have been
blessed to do many things during my life. From living in Alaska
with all it winter activities, to living in the desert of Arizona.
Right now my grandson is living with us so we have become a football
family. Neither of my boys were into football, so this is a change
especially at this age. I enjoy traveling which I do some but not
as much as my husband who travels out the country. I do get to
Phoenix 7-8 times a year. My parents still live there; dad 87 still
runs his own business, mom 84 in a care center. So I spend time
checking up on them. I do travel to several different trade shows
across the US to purchase items for the store. I do a lot of
reading but not as much as I would like. After 10 hour days 6 day a
week, my most loved activity is to go home read and sleep. I use to
love knitting, but after breaking my wrist last Christmas, I do not
do a lot of that either.
My Occupation:
I have been
employed or volunteered in many different areas: Computer schools,
Heavy equipment and truck driving schools, dental office manager,
EMT for a volunteer Ambulance Service. I now own my business:
Books & Things From C&R. We sell new and used paperback books,
hardback books, jewelry, dolls, wood creations, knitted items, etc.
Local craftsmen bring their items in and if I think they will sale,
we put them in the store.
My Family:
I have been married for 38 years. We have
lived all over the US. We have two boys. Rick Jr. is 35 and works
for the drug task force. He has two children, Brenda and Robert.
Brenda is with her mother and Robert is living with us to finish
high school. Robert is 17 and is 250lb 5'11. Scott is married, has
a 2 1/2 year old boy going on 30. The family is living in E Islip,
NY, where Scott is completing his 3 year residency is pediatric
medicine
Rick, my husband, plans to retire next year and is starting his
Engineering Consulting Company. I will not be retiring again for a
couple of years or when the store is up and running good. I retired
3 years ago after back surgery and spending a lot of time with my
parents.
Favorite Memories:
Because of
illness when I was younger, a lot of my memories of high school and
before are really not there. They do come back when people talk
about different things, but I have to hear about them first. I do
remember the Barn dances, cruising Wadsworth, taking short hand -
this because I have so many of Gregg Short Hand books in the store.
I really enjoy reading others’ bio because it does bring back a few
missing memories.
