I'm a retired nurse after 25 years of working with the mentally and physically handicapped males in a NJ institution. Now found love again with my ex husband and living with him in NC, after each of us going our separate ways. I have two grown sons who live in NJ and a kitty named Bella who is with my oldest son. I did bring my sweet Lab/Pit mix Pollo with me and he gets along great with my honey's black lab/pit LuLu. Unfortunately, he was sick for a while, and although I had him at the vet's several times, she suggested further evaluation. Found out he had cancer and had to put him to sleep on Aug. 14th 2018. Still miss him and look for him every day.
Things are very good between us; love the second time around is wonderful. We still have our ups an downs, but neither of us is going anywhere.
I like downloading recipes from the internet, trying them out, cooking of course!, being on the computer in general, reading, watching TV in the evening, going for rides to nowhere, playing games on my tablet before shutting off the lights at nite, and occasionally eating out and visiting home in Jersey to see family and friends.

Catherine Annette Hanshaw was an American Jazz Age singer. She was one of the most popular radio stars of the late 1920s and early 1930s, with many of her most notable performances taking place on NBC's Maxwell House Show Boat. Over four million of her records had been sold by 1934, following the peak of her popularity.
In her ten-year recording career, she recorded about 250 sides. In a 1934 poll conducted by Radio Stars magazine, she received the title of best female popular singer. Second place went to Ethel Shutta, third place went to Ruth Etting, and fourth place went to Kate Smith.
She was a prolific performer (with over 780 recordings!), and made records under dozens of pseudonyms including Gay Ellis for sentimental songs, Dot Dare and Patsy Young (for Betty Boop impressions), as well as Ethel Bingham, Marion Lee, Janet Shaw, and Lelia Sandford.
