I am an unemployed homemaker, in my late 40s, who has been looking for a job for 2 years now. I have a BA degree in Clothing & Textiles. I love to sew and do machine embroidery. I am a mom of a teen daughter who is a cheerleader & soccer player. My husband works as an office manager for the federal gov't. We all love to play cards, especially a game called "Hand & Foot." I live in the St. Louis suburbs. My husband & I are both Army veterans and former Peace Corps volunteers. We lived in Germany for 5 years with the Army, and in Tonga (South Pacific) for 2 years. Our daughter was born in Germany.

I am looking for some books by Nora Roberts, Finding the Dream, & Daring to Dream; Born in Fire & Born in Ice; Sea Swept & Rising Tides; The MacGregors: Daniel-Ian, The Winning Hand, & The Perfect Neighbor.
