about me

I have lived in a little Iowa hometown for the last 10 years(western Iowa) I have a new job working as an ER Registrar at a hospital in the area and I LOVE it! I have two sons and the youngest just graduated from high school. The picture of me is taken in my new leather jacket...ready to hit the road on a motorcycle with a special friend...I have discovered the love of being on the back of a bike again...I am hooked!

In June "06" I vacationed in Savannah, GA and I fell in love with the place. I really could see myself retiring there. I love the South. I became a Zaar addict quite awhile ago and I love it- wouldn't change a thing about it. I can't imagine not having Zaar in my life, its truly helped me meet alot of awesome people and to be part of a community that not only is about the food, but also cares about everyone who is a member.

I am a Host Moderator in the New Members and the Q&A Forum. Its where I spend most of my time when I'm on Zaar, but you find me just about anywhere in the late night hours.

My Zaar Sister Shirl(J)831 and I have met and she always welcomes me into her home. She is truly my dearest friend and kindred sister. Alot of people on Zaar think we are actually sisters and I take that as a compliment. I just spent Thanksgiving 08 with her and the visit was very special to me...and she knows why.

I participated in PAC and for my first one I adopted the best chefs(I think)! I would love to thank GlutenFreeGirl, Panthur, Mini_1 and MissJuliee for allowing me to take them in and try their recipes! I had a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Into my 2nd PAC I adopted Kizzikate and PdxBarb. I always pick the best. Check their recipes out as well. All winners!!!


Heres to the rest of the Pearls of the Caribbean, you all made it a blast - Gnome Woman, Paula G, Bev, Nimrod Cook,& Rita L
