AND WHAT MAKES ME, ME?

I love travelling, with Paris being my favorite place, but there are so many places I've been and each is special. I love to cook, and have taken lots of cooking courses, and even have taught some. It probably goes without saying that I also love to eat. To work off the calories I do Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, bike and blade. I am a ballroom dancer, having taken lessons far before it was so fashionable. I've done some competing and showcases with Arthur Murray Dance studios. I'm currently shopping for a poodle. I love home decor and am an Ikea junkie.

I suffered a life threatening illness in 1996, from which I've fully recovered, but due to it I began a non-profit foundation and field questions and provide information in regard to necrotizing fasciitis through the NNFF and have written a book on the subject. I am from the southern part of the state (that would be Detroit), and was raised in Grosse Ile, an island between Trenton and Amerstberg, Canada. I attended Ferris State College in journalism. I am an amateur gardener, and am proud to say my garden has been featured in Grand Gardens Magazine.

I love to entertain and some of my parties are legendary. If you get to know me, you'll find out. I live on a little lake at the Grandville/Wyoming, Michigan city line and have a 13 foot electric pontoon boat that provides me with a lot of backyard sunset cruises.
