[AnnBK]

As often happens, I seem to be the resident senior citizen here! I'm Ann, currently living in central Oregon after spending 20 years in Alaska. I like to say that I've been happily married to my hubby, John, for 40 years, and a couple that were kind of "iffy." Anything outdoors is top of my happiness list, golf, hiking, etc. Also play a lot of bridge and love cooking for big crowds. My four grandsons are the joy of my life. I'm new to this hobby and I'm absolutely loving it!

[partidogs]

Hi,
I'm Sue, AKA Partidogs. I bred parti colored cocker spaniels for almost 10 years, but all are gone now and I have just my "Bear" left- a great German Shepherd.

I am married to Mark, for 7 years now, but we have been together for 18. We have 2 sons (1 each), Joel and Justin ages 28 and 30. We have 3 grandsons, Taylor, Kyle and Drew, the newest.

We have lived in the foothills of Central CA, for 14 years, just outside Yosemite Nat'l Park, a little town called Mariposa.

I have been a crafty person all my life, knitting, sewing, drawing, cross stitch, needle point, macrame (rememeber that), and scrapbooking. I got started 7 years ago when we got married and I wanted to put our photos in something other than a plain purchased "album", so I made my own.

I am 52 and a semi retired Financial Planner.

We love going to our houseboat on the lake, our grandkids, traveling when we can, and most anything outdoors.

Sue
