My Introduction

Hello all,

My name is Linda O. And I reside in the tourist town of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

I am a single mom of 4 children (3 sons- 25,23,19 and 1 daughter 15) and 4 pets (3 cats and 1 dog).  I was married for 21 years and have been divorced for 4.   I am now with a wonderful man for past 1.5 years and very content.

I am also a breast cancer survivor of 2 years now from stage 3a breast cancer.

I worked for 21 years as a public school teacher teaching orchestra.  I taught 4th - 8th graders how to play violin, viola, cello, and bass.  Due to the current economic situation last June my job was eliminated. :(

I am obsessed and love all things cross stitching.  I began the art in early 20s and now due to my job situation have been doing a lot of it.  I recently attended my first cross stitching retreat and also have joined several exchanges and have even started one of my own.

I am excited to be a part of this group!!!
