I enjoy dog sitting, bowling & spending time with my granddaughter.
I'm well known for taking in dogs to sit for friends & family so our fur babies don't have to be kenneled.
I've bowled on a league for 33 yrs. I enjoy the people & getting out of the house for recreation.
My granddaughter is the apple of my eye. We do many things together. The goal is to visit every zoo in the US.
