Hi!

Well here it goes:

Married thirty years.  Oh boy what a ride

No grandchildren

Not working, But sell Avon

I was 57 when I had surgery.  July  14, 2009

Gee I don't recall.  I lost a lot of weigth before I had surgery.  I think it was in the 50's  I would have to check again.

I have two kids-  Steven 28 and Kelly 24.  I am blessed, they are both slobs

Peace

Mary

I am on my way.  What a ride it has been.
