Hi again Marilyn; Yes we lived in San Pablo, CA. We left there in 1982. I still miss it. We lived near the water and that was glorious. I have such fond memories of the time we lived there. My three children were born and reared there. We went fishing and camping all the time. Actually we traveled a lot and my ex-husband worked at Berkeley University as an engineer. I had my own photography business and I moonlighted for the Contra Costa Times. I had my own byline and all but just couldn't make enough money because I wasn't someones aunt or sister or mother---------lots of nepatism. I had to leave Ca. because my ex started using drugs and became very abusive to me and the children. We were together for 12 years, half of them were as wonderful as a marriage could be but he ran into a guy he was in the Navy with, they went out to catch up on old times and little by litte things changed until WHAM! my marriage was over. Wow what a waste. It took me 16 years to finally commit to another relationship and sometimes now I have problems. Yes I do have pets. I have Romi, a miniature schnauzer, 3 years old, weighs in at 8 pounds wet. Then I have Ninja, a South American Wood Turtle with such beautiful colors, who is trying to hybernate, a chameleon named Starr. Jeni named her. She is quite a character and changes such gorgeous colors depending on her mood and last but not least I have an Iguana, Ringo. She is 2 years old and is getting quite big, about 4 feet now from head to toe. So you probably guessed by now that I love animals. I had a yorkshire terrior, (Sassy) who weighed about 2 1/2 pounds and oh how I long for another one. They are so expensive though. I had a beautiful cat but everyone in the house was highly allergic to her so I had to find her another good home. Well gotta get some shut-eye. Just got back from my route and boy was it cold out there. I am so ready for spring that I can just smell it luv & hugs rosie |
