The Lord God Almighty

Grew up in rural western PA.  As my high school volleyball coach would say,  "to get to Kelly's house,  go to the at the end of the world and make a right; it's a dead end".   Traded water skiing for snow skiing, on "real snow", when I lived out  west.   Enjoy walks, hikes and nature. Have lived in 9 cities in 3 states.  Love to snuggle in my reading chair with a good book, a blanket and our family cat on my lap.
