As you would have deduced by now I love my dog Phoebe. She is always my profile picture since I do not look as good as she does. Perhaps after my diet succeeds and I loose 40 pnds. I will change the photo. lol - dream on! I was born in Cuba and moved to USA in 1966. Married, two wonderful stepdaughters and nine grandchildren. My favorite thing to do is needlepoint and reading. Both are expensive hobbies so I need to succeed at WA and stop depleting my retirement fund. So hello out there in WA world and glad to meet ya'll.
