I grew up in Andover, Massachusetts and joined the Navy in 1980. It was peacetime and I never went to sea. I was stationed in Washington, DC and San Diego, California. I met my husband, Charley while I was on active duty. By the time he retired in 1993, we had a son and daughter. We moved back to my hometown for about 5 years and he started teaching school. Then we bought a home in Derry, New Hampshire. And here is where I sit reading books, blogging about them 5 days a week, and talking to the cat.

My sister got me involved with the family tree, so now I haunt the graveyards.
