Welcome to my world
I grew up in a
nice suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Growing up, in school, I was more of an
observer than a participator, which was fine with me. My grades were
average, more for lack of trying than anything else. I went to college
after high school, but didn't like it and dropped out after my first
year. I worked at a sporting goods store for a year and a half after
that, and decided to try school again. I went to a small agricultural
branch of Ohio State, where I attended for 1 1/2 years before flunking
out, again due to lack of interest and trying. The only good thing that
came out of that was that I met (or should I say re-met) my future
husband there. Hugh and I grew up on the same street as kids and even
played together as 5 year olds. We lost touch when he went to private
schools and I went to public schools. We married in 1987 and had our
daughter, Megan, in 1996.
In 1993 we moved to an old estate in the village of Hunting Valley,
Ohio. Minimun lot sizes for homes in the village are 5 acres, and many
homes have more than that. One estate down the street from us has over
600 acres, and our place has 212 acres. We live in the old chauffeur's
house. Our house is very small, but we have the whole estate to play
on. We regulalry see deer, coyote, buzzards, hawks, wild turkeys, and
we've been lucky enough to see fox and pheasant. The Chagrin River runs
through the property, and if we wanted to, we could hike down there and
do some fishing and watch the beavers play.
