HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Luv those little horns Adrian ;p
Hello! Thank you for having me as a friend!!!
Vancouver....so far away, but it feels like you're right here! That's one of the appeals of tu.diabetes. I'm southwestern Ontario...and originally from Québec. I'm a wife of 33 years (hubby is also diabetic), mom to two grown children (one 28, the other 26), a grandma to 3 lovable little boys, a teacher, and before that an illustrator (still do some) and graphic designer....I speak French fluently, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, ski (do you ski?), ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I'm an eclectic music lover, an animal lover...the ocean...ah the ocean...it speaks to me! Oh...and I have diabetes (and a few other things).
Tell me a bit about yourself!
Keep in touch, ok?
