I live with my husband in the beautiful town of Westlake Village, CA. We really love our town and can't imagine living anywhere else. We have 4 grown children and 5 adorable grandchildren. I taught school for 22 years, spending most of the time in kindergarten. My husband and I work together at home. We enjoy boating, but not fishing. My husband always says that do our fishing at Albertsons. We keep our boat in Channel Islands harbor, so if you happen to be in the area, we will be happy to take you on a boat ride. We also have a 39 foot fifth wheel trailer with which we have also done quite a bit of traveling around the country. We also are active in our church (LDS). I play the organ for church and my husband calls me the ward organizer.
