My name is Jude, I am a mother of 3 children (23, 17, and 14). I was born in Emporia, KS I have moved 23 times in my 41 years on this earth and now live in north central Kansas. I have been divorced for 13 years, but met my soul mate almost 2 years ago...we plan to get married someday but are in no hurry. I have had a few different career's in my life a professional florist for several years, taught the floral outreach program for a community college for 2 years, computer aided drafting for a few years, ran heavy equipment for a few years and now I am an office manager for a fiberglass manufacturer. I really like the small community I live in, my oldest son and his wife live next door to us, my youngest son works on the weekends for his grandma who owns a small café here in town, I know all my neighbors, I only have a 6 block work commute, etc. We have 2 dogs, Cash is an English Mastiff and Nemaha is a Chocolate Lab, we also have a pixiebobcat named Remus. We often have "natters" on the deck with our friends and family, share some talk and drinks. We enjoy hunting, both gun and bow. I started reading S.K. when I was 16, checked out The Shining from our school library, and have been a fan and collector every since. That's all folks, to quote Mod, there's really nothing to see here, so moving right along!
