I moved to Naples from IL (O'Hare airport area) about 1.5 years ago to join my in-laws, who live here. I left my family in IL, so I have a reason to go back and enjoy the snow! My husband and I have been married for 22 years. 
 I have a beautiful stepdaughter (41) who has given me the best grandson (20) and granddaughter (sweet 16) that I could have ever hoped for, and I am a proud mom to my Navy son (27) who currently resides in VA. 

I am an animal lover and have had just about every animal you can think of. Currently, I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, an Amazon Parrot, 4 hens, a rooster, 5 baby chicks, and I am hopeful that I will soon be able to replace my beehive that I lost a few months ago.
