About Me

Linda's World: Lakewood, Washington, United States; I've lived in beautiful western Washington all my life. I'm divorced and the mother of a married son (Jim)and a married daughter (Julie). Julie and her husband are the parents of my two grandchildren Harrison age 21 and Meghanne age 20. I retired in February 2007 from a large health system and love to travel locally and up and down the west coast with my friend Bob. We've also been on several cruises & loved the experience. I love to buy & sell on eBay and after being an Avon Rep since 1976, I retired from Avon in May of 2009.
