HISTORY: The past 40 years has been quite a ride. I went to MCCC after high school while working at Sears at Macomb Mall. After I was married I quit school and continued working at Sears until my son, Tommy was born. We lived in St. Clair Shores from 1972-1977. We moved to Clinton Twp August, 1977 and shortly after, Tom quit his job with J&R Sheet metal installing siding, gutters and trim work. He was hired by Ford Motor Co and worked for them until his retirement.

I worked for Burger Chef/Hardees when Tom was layed off from Ford in 1980. I later went to work for Crowleys at Lakeside Mall and I worked for them until they closed in 1999. That is when we moved to Almont and I began working for hugs & kisses....babysitting my grandchildren and that is what I still do today. My daughter Kristy is a respiratory therapist and her husband works in construction so I have to get up early to babysit. I usually leave my house between 4:30 & 5am to travel to their home about 35 minutes away. I also watch my sons children at least one weekend a month. He works for Ford Motor and is also involved in an online business with his wife. Melissa is still at home and works for Kroger in Imlay City. She started with Farmer Jack in 1999 and was hired by Kroger when they took over the store in 2007.

My parents, ages 88 & 91, are still alive and living on their own in Macomb. They still drive locally but distance or night driving is left up to me. We just returned from a road trip to El Paso, TX where my younger brother Mark and his family live. We did some sightseeing on the way home; President Clinton Library in Little Rock, ARK, Graceland in Memphis, TN and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO. I know my parents really enjoyed themselves. I'm planning another road trip to Seattle, WA to visit my youngest brother Gary, hopefully next year. I'd like to show them the Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park and possibly go to Denver and see Pikes Peak.

When not babysitting I'm kept busy with everyday chores around the house. We live on nearly 5 acres and it is a lot of work to keep everything up. We also have an australian sheperd dog that can sometimes be worse then having a kid. Tom has a part time job working at a hardware store in Capac. He has been off for 2 months because of having surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel. I think he'll go back to work and golf soon after Easter. I can't wait!!!
