Hello! I have lived in North East Ohio ALL my life...which happens to be over half a century!!! I have two dogs named Chica and Toby (chihuahuas) and they are my fur babies in addition to my 3 two legged children who are no longer children, but thriving adults! I work for an Electronic Security company and before that was in Real Estate and Banking. I am also a twin...have been all my life. (Hehe). I love to cook(when I’m in the mood) otherwise, it’s cheese and crackers or popcorn! That’s a little about me! I hope to get to know a little about you!
