Short Bio

I am a retired school teacher of English at the middle school level.  My husband, 80, and I downsized to an attached home in a condo village last fall 2020.  He has since returned to work as a construction manager, believe it or not.  I use oxygen when I sleep and now need it when I walk the dog.  I also use it when I exercise.  I am at 3 liters a minute.
