I like this thread... I too am an artist. I am 52, 5'4" and healthy. I just finished a graduate degree and want more. I teach art in public school outside of Boston. I love the city and the beach. I have a Jack Russell Terrier and have always pictured myself with a giant poodle and a couple of cats.
I have three kids in college and they are great. I spent 23 years as a military wife and made the most of it.....the travel and changes were great. It's nice to meet you all.
