I have no grandchildren - nor do my two sisters. After reading about everyone's grandchildren I had to say something!
After living in Walla Walla for 9 years, we moved to
Reardan for two more years, and then moved to Spokane. By this time we had
three children. I was fortunate to be a stay at home Mom for until 1988. Then I
taught for the Extended Learning Center at Spokane Falls Community College
until 1986 teaching parents how to parent. This was so I could take care of the
youngest, Marcy.In 1988 I joined the sub list for Spokane and Central Valley public schools. After subbing every day in 5th and 6th grades, and Behavior Intervention class rooms for five years, I decided to change careers.
I have been active with my kids PTA, Ferris High School, Ham on Regal, Ferris High School Orchestra, Silver Spurs International Folk Dance organization, chairman or president of many different groups.
In 1997 my ex and I decided to go our separate ways. We are both happier.

| Jim & Me on the Saphire Princess |
In 1992 I went back to school and become a travel consultant, a career where I could use my minors (history, art, drama, geography) and my interest in all countries and their cultures. I do all kinds of travel: corporate, groups, conventions, cruises, and adventure travel. I specialize in detailed FITs' for people. The internet has actually helped my business.
I am now a Premier Aussie Specialist, one of only 120 in the United States, and a Kiwi Specialist for New Zealand. I really enjoy my work.
Other then work, I keep busy with Mom and Dad, both are 93 and living in their own home. We try to get in camping and fishing, the lake, and of course, traveling.
In our '65 yearbook I said, "to make others happy and to see the far away places". It is fun to see people in a positive setting like planning a special event in their life. I'm doing what I wanted to do! There is so much to see and do in our world - from the back roads in Idaho, to watching the nocturnal animal life in Tasmania, a Mozart concert in a palace in Vienna, trying food - or wine- that you have never had before, staying in the oldest Inn in America, or celebrating a special event on a far away beach. Our motto is " The world is our playground, and we have a lot of playing left to do!"
Since I live in Spokane, please call me if you know you will be passing though, I would love to see you!
