About me

Introduction	I am a mother, grandmother, child of the 60's, artist and good friend to many people. My nick name is "Smiley" because I am, normally, a very happy girl! I started looking at the possibility of retiring. There seems to be a problem. Little known fact to me....Stay at home mothers make nothing towards their Social Security. I have worked enough over time to get a little, but not enough to retire in the US. Now I will have to be very creative. So, Costa Rica it is!
