Bio

I am a 71 y/o married female living in Alabama (though originally from Maine) with my husband Larry and a big yellow cat named Sammy. After retiring from the US Army I held several administrative jobs and was thoroughly enjoying REAL retirement for the past few years. I suppose I bragged about being the healthiest senior citizen I knew! I loved working on computers and doing competitive walks–5Ks and half marathons. I feel that i”ve led several lives over the course of the years and now am entering a new phase. Part of me is scared to death and thinking I;ve had it better than most; then part of me is thinking here it comes–another challange.
