Bio

I am a 67 year old grandma, retired teacher. I like to knit, garden , go to the gym ,play mah jongg, and travel. I do yoga, Pilates, cardio jam. I spent the summers doing water aerobics outside.with the best teacher ever. I apply sun-screen all over, wear a rash guard and a hat and sunglassses and don’t care what I look like at the pool. It’s liberating. I have 2 grandchildren and I am married. I also have a good sense of humor.
