ABOUT ME

 

Hopefully if you're here and reading this, you already know me and have a positive impression.  I listed things I do and enjoy on the home page, so I suppose I should make this a short bio.  Born 1962 in Cleveland, Ohio, graduated from Midpark High School in 1980.  I am the Mom of two terrific adult kids:  Dan and Jess - and Mana to one:  River Joanna.  I married Richard Lyons in 2003 and we are happily residing in Austintown, Ohio with our Boston Terrier pup 'Hadley'.  Employed by Kaiser Permanente in 1988 and for the time being am still employed by it's replacement company.
As I've mentioned, my hobby is genealogy - altho after so many years of constant research - it's more a lifestyle.  I also am game for anything creative, even if I've never attempted the medium before.  I love to cook and host large gatherings.  I am the youngest of three, my brother lives in Illinois and my sister sadly passed away in 2012. 

 

Oh, and that's a really old photo of me below.  
I *hate* to have my picture taken.
