Introduction	I'm a sixty year old wife, mother and grandmother. I live in Tennessee with my second husband and our dog, Cali (short for California, where my story began). I'm a liberal Christian, and lean to the left politically. I spent 20 years of my life as a Navy wife, living at times in Greece, Japan, Panama and Beirut. I have a husband who is as conservative as I am liberal but we love each other and find that love trumps our left/right labels. I have two beautiful, smart, caring daughters and have no idea what I ever did to deserve such a blessing. I'm a former Match Support Specialist with Big Brothers Big Sisters, preschool teacher, and Eligibility Supervisor for a family social service agency, but have spent most of my adult life as a "stay-at-home-mother/wife."
Interests	I love thrift stores. I go there when I'm looking for something specific, as well as when I just want to see what they have. I collect vintage kitchen items -- mostly red.
