WHO is WHO

Making her vision your reality
It really is hard to write something about myself but here goes. I been on this earth for 80 years and worked since I was 8 years old. Everyone always says, "You do not really look your age." I think they are just being nice, and I do not know just how to return the compliment.
My first job was kitchen help. I lived as a live-in servant with my grandmother. She was a chef. She became popular with affluent residents both in Illinois & Massachusetts. I was with her up u
ntil she passed, and then I married at 16. Yes, way too young, but the only child I ever had was a year and seven days after that marriage. I had a wonderful son who was a great father of two boys, and he passed away with leukemia at a young age. The two young men now are wonderful grandsons that try their best to keep up with this old active lady.
​
I had a myriad of jobs from waitress, cosmetologist, to dairy factory lab technician, Police Officer, Teacher, Truant officer, Navy First Class Petty Officer. I always kept buying, renting and selling properties throughout my life from 17 years old both here in the USA and overseas in England up until 2021. I then retired with history of a full-time police officer with retirement from the State of Florida and the US Navy in 2005. I used my retirement money to purchase more rental properties and built a business of low-rental units that I was proud to rent to people who needed a home or just a place to visit in Florida out of the cold Northern America.

I lived in England for seventeen years, and what a springboard that was to travel the European Countries. Some of the countries I travel in Europe and visit in the winter were Tunisia (Africa), Malta, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Sicily, Ireland, both North and South, Scotland, Wales, Finland, France, Libya, Egypt, the Azores, Cape Verde, Madeira, and the Grand Canary Islands. Traveling while in my own country of America, I have visited Canada, Mexico, and most of all of the Caribbean Islands. My favorites that I have returned to over and over are the Dominican Republic, Aruba, and Saint Marteen.
I am at this writing visiting friends in California. In just a few days about to board a cruise ship that will take me through the Panama Canal all the way down the West coast of California and then Western Mexico. From there on to the Western Caribbean all the way to South America. Then we will end up in Miami Beach for a drive home. I say this is a peaceful retirement as all the properties are now sold and I have paid off all the taxes that took the profits. I always have to keep busy to ward off the aches and pains of old age. So come back soon to see what it is like to cruise the Western side of North America all the way to South America.
