hi all
I was born and raised in Germany, came to the USA at age 22, married into the military and my current husband (lol im on #3 and last one) is now retired after 31 years in but he still works as a contractor in the middle east.....I have worked many jobs but my last one was working as a correctional officer in a max prison for women here in texas. Did that for 8 years.
I have 2 daughters,( 24 and 31) one in berlin, one in germany with her military husband and my grand baby... I love gardening, watching tv, playing pool, playing Bingo, being online and listening to some good "ole skool "music.......getting ready to have weight loss surgery scheduled for august but may be happening in july....cant wait ......so excited............lol hmm not sure what else u wanna know...so just ask lol....

hi Tipsy! Welcome to the Women's Room!
I always wanted to visit Germany, what was it like growing up there?

well, my hometown is nice....i love the cobblestone roads, the island with the outdoor swimming pools on it, the clean streets, the great foods, october fests, .....what i miss the most is the food lol.....even the flour is different here but i have gotten used to it...and i have my mom sending me things when i need it......things i didn't like is that the stores closed at 5 or 6 pm..( i think that has changed to 8 now).....and that there weren't many english speaking channels on tv....back then all we had was AFN ( american forces network) lol......now they have satelite tv.....would I go back to live there? NOPE...like it stateside better......but not nec texas lol.....to hot here.......would love to check out costa rica or belize....
