I'm baaaaccckkkk

Well, it appears that once a year I write on this blog. I keep telling myself I will be better when I retire...or actually, when Milo retires, since I work with him. :)

This Sunday we leave for St. Lucia so I hope to blog regularly about our trip. I will be using my Ipad which is fairly new to me, so I don't know that I will get any photos uploaded until we get back home on the 28th.
Milo has board meetings to attend for the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Fund, where he is the Chairman of the Board. Once a year I try to pick a spot in the Caribbean and travel with him. This will be my first time in St. Lucia and I am looking forward to the Peton Range and the rain forest for a new experience.

I hear that communications and signals can be poor in St. Lucia, so if anyone needs to contact us, we hope to get email. If not, call 916-225-0618. We will have a "global loaner phone" that uses Milos cell phone number. My will not work there.

See ya on the flip side.

How I fill my days

  • Travel has become a regular part of our lives, and with the help of xanax, I love it!
  • I like to cook and try new recipes when the urge strikes. Milo often chips in when I let him know he is in the mood to help as well.
  • On occasion I still do event planning for local non-profit organizations, but I don't actively seak those jobs.
  • Milo started Insurance Solutions Group over 4 years ago and the growth of that business keeps me busy with marketing, accounting and general operations.
  • Kickboxing is my excercise of choice. I tried Jazzercise, but couldn't get my arms and legs to move at the same time without someone getting hurt.
  • I enjoy scrapbooking during the winter evenings when I don't want to brave the cold
  • Since I have a difficult time sitting still, I like to crochet in front of the TV
  • I am a volunteer for the American Cancer Society. It is my passion and my purpose.

FUN FACTS

On her blog, my niece listed 100 things about herself from a suggestion by a girlfriend. Milo wanted to know if I would do the same. He thought it was a good idea if I would mention him as number one. To that end, I thought Fun Facts would be more appropriate. Who knows how many I'll come up with.

Fun Facts...the saga begins

  • 1) I was born in Kenmore NY on March 25, 1952. I considered not showing my birth year, but decided I was pleased to be alive, so why not?
  • 2) I have a great son, Scott David Slater and my life basically revolves around him much to his dismay.
  • 3) I am married to the love of my life, Milo Pearson III, yes, he's the third. (one of those fun facts.)
  • 4) I hesitated to mention that I have been married before, because of the stigma attached, but our history makes us who we are today. Both are good men and while I am happy to call them "ex"s", I am also happy that they are still a part of my life.
  • 5) In 1970, I was the first female limo driver/tour guide in Niagara Falls NY. At that time, it was my contribution to women's lib. others were burning their bras.
  • 6) I am a breast cancer survivor since 1993! Woo Hoo
