Bio

My husband & I are both 55, married for 24 years! We have one daughter, 21 (she is disabled and lives with us). We have lived in Mission Viejo, CA for 17 years. He is a California boy, born & raised in Anaheim. I was an Amish farm girl from eastern Pennsylvania who became the black sheep (rebel)! He was a manager at Lowe’s & I worked in Marketing for a computer distributor. After our daughter became disabled, we homeschooled her. My husband enjoyed trips to Moab and Fruita to mountain bike and we did lots of camping and hiking. Love Travel & Photography. Now, it’s all about the MM battle.
