All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
I love my Michael, my freedom, my dear friends & family. I love rain, misty/foggy weather and stormy weather. If I had only one thing (besides a bed) in my home it would be a fireplace. I am VERY proud to be an American.

Business InformationHistory/background
I'm a California native, a Leo born in 1949 in Whittier, Calif. Graduated UCLA w/ a degree in Design, 1971. Then 10 years running my own graphic design biz in Playa del Rey CA. Moved around a bit: to Oak Park, Illinois; Seattle, Washington; Honolulu, Hawaii. Loved all of those places but came back to the mainland and entered financial marketing in Los Angeles & Pasadena CA. After almost 10 years of that pace I needed a change, so I became an assistant mgr. in a unique gift store. But over the years grew weary of the crowded freeways, smog and hype of Southern Calif so I moved to the mellow Central Coast (Cambria & Pismo Beach) & worked in retail and designed herbal/dried flower wreaths for many moons. I moved to Squaw Valley in '98 because I fell in love! After 10 good years together Michael & I finally married in September 2007. Currently I'm the office manager in a small real estate office here in Squaw Valley. I also do property mgmt. And - of course - I sell on Ebay!
