I was raised on a small farm in Ohio. No one ever agreed to marry me so to complete my desire to have a child, I adopted. I worked as a lab technician in a dairy for eight years. I took a pay cut to go to work at the post office as a clerk. After 23 and a half years I took early retirement. At 52 I actually moved west of the Ohio border to Jackson, Wyoming. I have since shifted westward to Idaho. I love playing cards, reading, jigsaw puzzles, and being frustrated with people in my life. I wish I could afford to raise sheep and be in the country but it is not going to happen. I decided to keep a journal after Ericka came into my life. It was the only way I could remember all the hilarious remarks and antics of my life.
