I am a proud mother of two autistic children and married 40+ years to an engineer. We raised our children in small town as we both love rural living. Hubby dearest grew up on a cattle ranch while I traversed the planet as a United States Navy brat. My Dad was a draftsman and later an engineering technician.
I was first child to graduate from college with a degree in English followed by my brother who received a degree in Computer Science. Upon graduation from college I looked for work and volunteered. One day I was offered a job at our local newspaper after the editor liked my letters to the editor. I was writing about building a better animal shelter and the need for placing it in an accessible location. I lost that cause as the shelter was built near the edge of town. The rest was history as I managed to work for our little newspaper three different times. One of my biggest stories I covered was V-22 testing. I also used to interview former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy when he was first starting out his political career as that time I was a governmental affairs journalist.
I enjoy my social media time at both X (Twitter), Facebook and sometimes Reddit where I mainly argue about politics. I also love reading books and I'm an Outlander fan.
My biggest dream is seeing my oldest daughter graduate from college with an engineering degree. She started her college studies as a mature student and thanks to supportive technology she's doing very well. She was on the Deans List earlier this year which made both of her parents proud. Our daughter is leaning towards getting a EE specializing in cryptology and radio science. I hope I remembered that right. I do know she loves shortwave radios just like her mother when I was young.
I'll also add I was diagnosed with a rare disease which took many years to figure out. I'm thankful to UCLA Health which helped figure out the mystery. I'd highly encourage anyone to get a second opinion at a university level hospital, if you suspect you have something medically unique occurring.
Thank you for allowing me to join Citizendium and I look forward to sharing the writing experience.
