Born in Omaha, Nebraska.  Moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma just before I turned 15.  Moved to Phoenix, Arizona when I got married (I was 20) for my husband to go to ASU. Moved to Lake Havasu City, AZ when my husband got a job after he finished College.  Moved to the Dallas area in 1994 and have been here ever since.

Relatives are from the Pipestone/Mankato areas of SW Minn. Parental units escaped to upstate NY and stuck around Syracuse long enough for all 3 of us to be born. Then we hit the road as IBM government contract vagabonds, mostly up and down I-95. This is my 3rd time living in Fla, rapidly coming up on my 26th year here.

Born in Skeezyport... I mean...Shreveport, Louisiana.  Was raised there until I turned 13.  My mom and I moved to Duluth, GA after she met my 2nd stepdad at a high-school reunion in Shreveport.  Graduated, and after various dramas and other troubles, I ended up in Savannah.   :popcorn:
