I am originally from Topeka, Kansas. I fell in love with the mountains when my dad took us on vacation to Colorado. As an adult I traveled all over the U.S. trying to find somewhere I felt my life energized. I found that place in Alaska. 

I am a mother of 3 daughters. . I have 6 grandchildren, and a great-grandson born in April 2007.

I am disabled due to a blood-clotting problem in my leg. I have also been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, it has seriously affected my spine. So, I am pretty much a stay-at-home mom. 

Oh, I can't forget my 2 cats, and 2 dogs. Where would I be without them...hehehe
