I was born in Maine, but have lived in nine states. I spent 20 years in the Navy, and am now happily retired. I LOVE to travel and have done numerous cruises, visited many countries in Europe, and I always want to see more and more! I guess I got a "gypsy" gene! My only regret is that I don't have the finances to travel as much as I would like. I lived in Texas for 15 years, raising, breeding & showing Appaloosas. Though I am now widowed and live in an apartment in Florida, I still love horses and miss them. I've attended 5 colleges (never got my degree), and since I was an art major, that makes me an educated, unskilled idiot. :) I have a strong sense of adventure, a wacky sense of humor, and love to meet new friends.
