I am a retired mother of one daughter, grandmother of a 6 year old girl, and 3 year old boy. My husband and I love to travel. We’ve travelled on a global basis, and would like to see more of the US. I love to cook, and read good fiction. I also try to keep fit by walking and taking a gym class geared toward keeping older people flexible and moving. I made my living as an employee benefit consultant working with large employers on their employee benefit packages. We have always had pets, including Newfoundlands, Golden Retrievers, and the various rescue mutt, in addition to a cat or 2.
