10/05/24 - POWER!!! And 5G on the phone. It will be another week or two for the Internet provider. I am grateful for what I have! Now to catch up on ratings.

10/2/24 - still no power. I have to drive miles to get any cell service. Going to send a few swaps. Hopefully everyone understands.

9/28/24 - impacted by hurricane Helene. No electricity. Please be understanding about late swaps. May not bechecking Swap Bot for days. Expected date of power to return is Oct. 12.

My 3 rating: Oct 2020 - Receiver feels swap was mailed late. This was a multiple partner swap. No other partner rated me lower than a five. I have reached out to receiver and host to see what I can do to improve this rating. Receiver is not willing to change rating.

I am a widow. My husband of almost 20 years passed unexpectedly Sept. 2018.

I am a mom and a teacher. I have two daughters. My oldest just graduated college with a degree in business administration with a minor in non-profit. Her ultimate dream is to work for a non-profit, specifically the homeless population. My youngest just graduated high school and wants to be a nurse.

I teach 7th grade social studies.

I have a Yorkie, Gracie.
