I thought this thread might be fun. Tell about yourself..whatever you feel comfortable posting on the web.
I am 29..11 years in a row now...no need for a calculator..lol. I am an Air Traffic Controller, my husband is as well but we are at different airports about 70 miles apart. I've been doing this job for 11 years now..only 9 1/2 until retirement! I've been married for 14 1/2 years and we met in college..hubbies name is Doug. We have no children of the human kind. We tried but I couldn't carry, I think that's one reason we are so close to our animals..they are my life. We love to be outdoors...camping, boating, fishing, bow hunting, snow skiing. I also like to tie flies, bowl, read, play piano (which I am not good at). We have a weekend house that we go to on our days off...we are lucky we have basically the same schedule..it is near a lake..in the summer thats where we are as much as possible. I am from Pittsburgh, PA..we moved to MI about 12 years ago. All my family is in PA and NC...so just me and the hubby up here. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. If you go to my profile there is a pic of me and Doug..It's nice to put a face with the name. Anyhow I'd love to hear about you...and see a pic too if you've got one! -------------------- ****Sonya****

Hi Sonya
I think you get much more snow than us by the sound of it.As for temps we are about -5 F at night at the moment and round freezing day time. We had snow all day but its turned to rain. Freezing tonight so we will be skidding on ice tomorrow. Then in for heavy snow over the next few days. My girls would be in their element. But I'm thinking about how funny they looked eating the snow and running along with their noses in it. Ha , they looked so funny. They would emerge with faces covered in snow. As far as visiting USA, we have spent a total of 5 weeks in Florida, which we loved. I would love to see more of your wonderful country. I have an old school friend who lives near Niagara, so will probably visit Canada in the near future. We have also been planning a trip to New York for years. My children have been many times and also to California. They love it. Most of our travel is visiting my parents in Spain. We also love the Greek Islands and we so love Italy and everything Italian. Rome is so fantastic, you must try and get to see it sometime. As for Uk, well I do love our wonderful countryside. The first thing you notice when you fly back over England is how green it is (due to all the rain we have I suppose). I also love London. We have some magnificent buildings and we love to drive along the Thames Embankment taking in all the sites. I also have a cousin in South Australia so would love a trip there someday. Might be able to call in on Madi too, ha.Dave also has relatives near Sydney, he visited them a few years back but I stayed home as Tasha needed a lot of care with her diabetes. So maybe a visit to Australia could be on the cards. I would love to travel and see more of the world. I was in the travel industry before I had the children, so it has always interested me. By the way have we heard what it was that Dottie saw(or didn't see) in the lovely painting of Brutus. Love Jan xx |
