I've spent my whole adult life caring for others, both in mental health and physical disabilities. I retired from Napa state hospital 2010, but continued to work part-time at Creekside Rehabilitation in Santa Rosa till October 2017. I intended to fully retire but I have a hard time being fully retired. I have 3 dogs and one cat. I used to have chickens, but neighbors complained they made noise and I gave them to my son. I've lived in Lake County for 25 years. I'm stable and reliable and I have long term friendships lasting over 40 years.
