1. I became a caregiver to take care of my mother. 2. Being able to help thoses that can't help themselves; knowing, that one day, if I'm blessed, I will be took cared of properly! 3. I worked 22 years on a job and retired in a beautiful home. I only have one daughter who graduate from KU and loves Lawrence! Well of course; all her friends are there! 4. I like cooking, cleaning, play the piano, very detailed oriented as I was a medical transcriptionist for the University of Kansas Hospital when I retired from the Department of Pathology. Also, I come from a very large family of 18 (11 girls and 7 bodys). We are all adults now and spreaded throughout the state; but keep in contact occasionally!
