About Ronnie ~ I'm a 47 year old mother to three adult biological children, and three adult foster children. The oldest is 30. The youngest is 21. Between the six of them I've been blessed with six beautiful grandkids so far.

I live in British Columbia, Canada with my partner Goat, and our pets Tavareesh (calico) and Baer (pitbull). My passions include gardening, sketching, sculpting, painting, and enjoying a good belly laugh at least twice a day. Goat and I are family oriented folks who dedicate our lives to our kids and our aging parents. Goat also helps out several of our elderly neighbours. I volunteer at various organizations whenever I can.

Some of the things I enjoy are being by the riverside, making jewelry, deep meaningful conversations, forensic science, the open road on a Harley, collecting river rocks, singing & playing guitar by a campfire, BBQs with lots of family and friends, star gazing, wood carving, thinking, being silly, catching other people being silly .... actually I've been really blessed. Although I don't enjoy sorrow, I understand it's an inevitable part of life. Time really does heal. I don't come away from difficult experiences the same person I was going into them. Every experience shapes and changes the person I am, but I'm alright. I'll always be alright. There's a peaceful center inside each of us that we can find our way back to whenever we're ready to let go of pain.

I'm opinionated and passionate. Half measures will never do for me. When I invest myself in something I invest all of me. Getting older has slowed me down a little. I'm less likely to get my feathers in a ruffle. But if I do, and I'm wrong, I'm willing to eat crow pie. Those are the days that at least one of my belly laughs is on me *Ü*
