Fresh out of high school, in September 1969, I began working with Carolina Power & Light Co. in Raleigh, NC. This was great for small town girl like me. Worked there for 28 years. In 1997, they did away with my position and I could have stayed making 26% less in my salary or I could leave which offered the greatest opportunity ever.....and I left.....they bridged my retirement to 35 years working, so I began drawing my retirement at age 53!
From there I've worked at the Farmers Market (loved the people and by the way, I'm not shy anymore) for about a year and then a small company, Corrvantis, also in Raleigh.
I began working at UMM on Glenwood Ave in Raleigh on April 2, 2001 which was a wonderful experience. I finally retired for good in 2009....40 years of traveling to Raleigh to work...was enough.
Randy and I own Carolina High Hot Air Balloon Company. He loves to fly & I love to chase that balloon. I chase him with more women than any other woman in Johnston Co. 🤣 We are enjoying the sport so much, going to balloon festivals in VA, NC, SC, NJ, PA, ME, and Canada.

I love my Church and Church family, Blackmans Grove Baptist Church and Crouseville Advent Christian Church in Washburn, ME
Randy & I bought a house in Washburn Maine in 2022. We love it there. We stay there 6 months a year. As of now (11/2023) we are keeping our house in Four Oaks.
God has blessed me so many times. I do not hesitate to give God all the praise and glory for all He has done for me. 🙏
