About Me

My photo
April
Delaware, Ohio
Just turned 70, living in my hometown and plugged into my community in ways I never expected when I shook the dust of this place off my feet over 50 years ago. After receiving a one-way ticket to Cancerland in 2004, I got an immediate Life Lesson in what is important. Many, many Life Lessons later, I am still around, now very happily married to the guy I first loved when I was 16 and he was 18 (only he didn’t get it back then). Every day for me is a gift, filled with small moments of great reward.
