Born in Spokane, WA. Moved frequently while growing up - Dad was a civil engineer. Lived all over the country, as well as Jamaica for a couple of years. Went to the University of Missouri, where I got my BS in nursing. Returned to Spokane 28 years ago, where I raised my son. Work in the OR in a local hospital. Currently working the night shift, and sell yarns from cones on eBay to supplement my income.
