Occupation	Fire Department
Location	West Sacramento, CA, United States
Introduction	I retired in October 2012 fall after 21 years with the Fire Department. I fell in love with cooking around that same time I went to work for the Fire Department. Prior to that I just cooked to feed my family. Now I think my cooking shows my family just how much I love them! I have a great hubby who supports all my crazy hobbies, 3 grown sons, 2 stepkids, an amazing grandson named James, a beautiful granddaugher named Nevaeh, born 9/22/10, Nevaeh's sister, Madelyn Marie, born 1-2-12, and their little brother, Charles, born 1-19-14 and I also have another granddaughter, Brooklyn, from my middle son, Kyle, and his girlfriend, Beth, born 3/8/12. My stepson became a father for the 1st time on May 29th, 2014...he is the proud daddy of a beautifuI little girl, named Maria. I acquired 2 more grandkids (boy and girl) when my oldest son remarried July of 2011. They are teenagers and just so delightful!! I was present at the birth of all of my bio-granddaughters (my grandson was born in Germany so I wasn't able to be there) and it was truly the most amazing experiences of my life!!

What's the best time you've ever had licking stamps?

This question is just too twisted to answer! BUT if they ever make stamps that taste like a good Cabernet Sauvignon, I'm all over it!
