    I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. I've raised our two daughters while also working outside the home over the past 40 years as a medical secretary, switchboard operator, accounting clerk, office manager, private secretary to a kayak designer/manufacturer, mini school bus matron, and finally a stay-at-home quilter. Life is good, retirement is near.

    Gave up a job of 12 years as animal shelter manager to babysit (boysit) my 3 grandsons for the past 6 years. Next year, they will all be in school full-time. What will I do then? :(

    I am a wife for 25+ yrs, a youngest daughter, a step-mother to a wonderful boy and girl (both married with children)so now I am a grandma and My hubby and I are owned by our 3 french bulldogs.
    Earlier in life, short order cook, in-home care, bookkeeper, after BS Degree - became an accountant, finally a real estate investor - that really allowed me to retire young and commit my life to my hubby, dogs and quilting.
