77. I will work for one of them in the primaries and general.

Dec 2015

We have a late primary, so not sure who I'm supporting, although I actually like them all.

I'm retired. We are working on remodeling our house with an eye on selling it and downsizing in a couple of years. What I really enjoy is spending time with my grandchildren. I don't see them often enough.

We have three dogs, two of whom are elderly and have health problems. They take a lot of my time. I'm glad I retired so I can care for them.
