A Little About Me


Ok, here goes, I have started my first blog because of having lots of time on my hands and my daughter Kerris blog has always fascinated me.  My health and mobility are not to good so spend lots of time on computer and watching tv and this will give me something to do.


  
I was married for almost 22 years before getting a divorce and have two wonderful daughters, Kerri & Meghan two great son-in-laws, Eric & Tony and one grandchild Brady. I also have a brother Jim in Wisconsin and his wife Bev and my two nephews Brad & Brian.


My best friend's name is Walt.  He is a retired school teacher and also a free lance photographer.  We hang out once or twice a week at a small restaruant.  Summer time we go for drives down around Mohican.  


I have a passion for my sports teams....The Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Indians and Green Bay Packers.  


Enough about me, I will try and make this blog interesting as I can and it will be a learning experience.
