We got married right out of high school and have been together ever since. Most things we have done together and we prefer it that way. We worked together at a private club and ran a very successful martial arts program for 15 years. Now we are trying our hand at writing books. Oh, did I mention the kids and grandkids? And there is a donkey, goat and cat too!

Pay Pal scam

Beware of this scam. It looks like a real pay pal email, but I don't use Pay Pal. I imagine if you call them or email them you will end up getting screwed.
