Married for 26 years to the most wonderful man in the world. No children but 1 amazing neice who is my pride and joy. Currently, 2 VSPs (very special pets), my cats, Fiona and Mia. Dog(s) in my future when I retire. Have traced my Irish family back (so far) to 1770 in County Clare, Ireland which I visited briefly last year. I plan to go back and hope to spend at least 3 weeks in County Clare as well as Dublin and Kilarney. Bucket list items include a wonderful retirement home with a big garden, Key West, Florida and new learning opportunities including learning to speak Italian, French and possibly Gaelic, learning to play the drums, taking Irish step-dancing lessons, learning to play golf, taking a course in photography, seeing a Jacksonville Jaguars game (where they win),learning all of the rules in football and finding a sport I can enjoy and not hurt myself.
