Good Morning from a New Boomer in Orlando
Good Day to the world. I'm a newbie to CS but an experienced blogger looking for a place to blog for the theraputic value it provides me for free. I'm a boomer fixing to retire and move from Orlando to Tampa very soon. Ugh the move isn't pleasant but what a happy camper I will be when it is behind me.I've lived in southern CA, Seattle WA and Orlando, FL. I was born in Tampa, FL where I grew up, returning now to help out my aging parents who live two miles from the home I bought to retire in. My siblings all live in the general area so it is a family effort.
I call my grand daughters, the granddivas because they are both grown divas! One moved to Santa Monica the other is here. I have a nine year old grandson that I just acquired last year and he is over the top cute and I love him dearly.
It is still tax season, I'm an accountant and towards the end of the season, all of us in my office are dragging our butts. I've worked for this company for over 20 years, was part owner for awhile until we sold to the current boss, a young woman that I dearly love and admire. It is a bittersweet retirement for me as I want to retire but I have leaving my beloved co-workers and job so I'll stay on part time and work from home, it's a sweet deal.
A friend recommended this site, I'm waiting on another friend from Canada to start blogging because her blogs are extremely well written. She is truly a lady with a passion and I look forward to her blogging as well.
Oh one other trait about me that anyone that knows me vouches for...I have always been bonded to a dog throughout my life, some big some little. I was widowed young and had big dogs to help me protect my children. In Orlando I have an apartment size dog, a tiny 3 pound Chi (chihuahua) that NEVER barks, can't stand little yappy dogs. My dogs have gone to work with me everyday for over 30 years, I just lucked out (like winning the lottery) on that perk. Her name is Bella, when I move to the home in Tampa I am thinking about rescuing a bigger dog for security reasons plus Bella is very old.
That's me and that's all folks.

I love your blog where you say you have always had a Dog. Well, I have always had a Cat [maybe you hate cats, people either love or hate them, no inbetween], lovely to have lived in so many places ~ I hope you enjoy it here.
Lovin' your new 'Nature Girl' pics
The one on the bench - include that one in your professional portfolio
Is that just on CS, or in real too?
I'm a little shy at first I guess but I wouldn't consider myself overall shy. Well heck maybe I am.
Again thanks everyone for the friendly welcome.
