69 years old but look 50, or so i am often told. Former newspaper editor/journalist. now live in north eastern North Carolina. I love to write, read, swim, garden & spend time with my 3 grandchildren. I am on Nutrisystem & determined to get my weight down to where i feel healthy again. Gained so much when I retired & took up eating all the foods I denied myself while working. Doing real good with this new way of eating!
