I have no problems letting anyone know where i live, i love receiving gifts, letters, and packages -- so here is my address

Cindy Caringi McLean,

176 Delatre Street,

Woodstock, ON N4S 6C3.

Canada

I have lived with my truck driver husband (common law) for the past 19 years, yet I have not been out of Ontario with him. (weekend trip to Michigan). Had a chance years ago to go to Vegas, to see Dwight Yokum, but that did not pan through....(thanks to my ex!) GRRRR!!!!!

I have since been to Chicago & Nashville......enjoyed both places.

I have 2 grown children, 3 grown step children, 4 grandsons, Logan has crybral palsy ( sorry spelling?!) and is 6 years old, Wyatt is 2 years old, Aiden 1 year old, and Owen is 3 months old. We are expecting grandchild #5 in the spring --- ITS GOING TO BE A GIRL...... yippee!!!

I am an office manager to a payday loan company, I do garnishments and go to Court at least 5 times a month. I drive a bright yellow PT Cruiser with money all over it....its a real eye catcher,

I am of Italian heritage.

My father passed away 3 years ago, my mother lives on her own in the same house, and she is very active. I also have 2 sisters, one is a school teacher and lives in Ottawa, and the other works in a medical office in Brantford.

I also have an 20 year old neice who is in college.

I am finally concuring the clutter in my house as we have been on a constant renovation cycle for 6 years. See my blog for some pictures.

As my son has now moved out, I have his whole room to craft in, and am setting that room up at this point.

I am an avid member of the Women of the Moose for over 25 years, I have been actively involved in all degrees, I am presntly the Recorder and working towards my Star Recorders Degree. I already received my Academy and College of Regents Degrees.

If you are a Moose member I would love to put you on my friend list & 'to visit' bucket list.... i have only been to the Conventions in Chicago, and Nashville......may be going to Miami next year...keeping my fingers crossed....
