About Activity

As I said ,I am American I live in Bakersfield California. I first moved to San Diego California in 1978 when I was 20 and lived there for almost 28 years. Bakersfield is actually a desert town and very flat. Population over 300,000 people. Mostly illegal Mexicans who have left us with no jobs. Anyway, I was born in Illinois, in the Midwest, raised between Wisconsin and Illinois. Wisconsin is one of our most beautiful States. It's the state of 1,000 lakes. I have 2 older sisters an older brother and a younger one. I have a daughter and 3 grand children. Two girls and boy who is just like my dad or his great-grandpa. I am 54, I was born in 1958. Both my fathers side and my mothers side come from Great Britain. I myself now wish we would have not broken with England. I absolutely love being around water. Love horses a great passion of mine. When I was a young girl I had a horse. Will that's about it.

Interests: hiking, peop wacthing, walking on beach, horses, some art, bike riding
