GRADUATION DAY

I am a full time single mom of a handsome 16 year old boy.  It has been just him and I for the last 12 years and we are very close.   He has the greatest sense of humour and makes me laugh a lot.  When he started school, I started university, St. Mary's.  I obtained a Bachelor's Degree as well as an Information Technology Certificate in which I graduated with honours.   
 
I really love animals.  During the years I attended university, I spent all of my free time rescuing the feral cats in my neighbourhood where I lived at the time.  I paid for their medical attention which included spaying and neutering for the adults, and then found new homes for each of them.  It took 5 years but I rescued every one of them except for a few that had just been out there way too long and would not go in the live traps.  And those ones I faithfully fed every nite until they died.  I did not leave one behind when I finally moved from the area. 
 
This is Molly.  She is the only one of all the kitties I rescued that I kept.  She is the sweetest cat.  Feral cats make the best pets; they become attached to you very quickly.

This is Peanut, our new Ragdoll kitten.  She's an absolute doll.
(Our sweet Peanut died tragically on January 7, 2008. She was only 9 months old.)

Our Trip to DisneyWorld

 
 
My son and I went to DisneyWorld last year when he was 14.  I worked two jobs for almost a year to save the money to go but it was worth it. 
We had a wonderful time.

History

I grew up on the Mira River on Cape Breton Island.  I lived on my polish grandfather's land passed down through generations, and I had a horse for a pet. (picture below) 
My parents still reside there and it is one of my favourite places.
 
I spent a lot of years travelling, 3 years in Sydney, Australia and many winters in Calgary, Alberta as I loved to ski. 
I was a singer/songwriter/performer for a number of years, mostly a hobby.  I don't perform anymore but I still write.
