I am a 61-year-old retired high school teacher who loved the job, and is now a gramma of a little boy named Bentley. My family is very important in my life, but I love crafts, photography, animals, baking, cooking, classic cars, and new experiences. I used to ski, but that has taken a back burner. I own a prize-winning classic 1968 AMX.  I have been bucked off a horse, "gummed" by a bear, and learned to fly a small plane. I just got my gun permit yesterday, and start personal gun safety classes on Thursday.  I love Nature, and appreciate each and every day, despite the weather, as it is a gift.  The last gift I purchased for a friend was a desk set that she admired, but could not afford. I struggle with too much weight, and dislike the way I look, as I was always thin when younger. I just can't seem to lose.
