I'm a fairly elderly woman, married, have children and grandchildren. My favorite things to do is cook, I love my job and my very favorite thing to do is watch my grandchildren swim. My hubby and I also like to take little day trips to see our favorite sites. He loves to shop so we go to a lot of flea markets, malls and antique shops. I love to shop for things for our home. I'm definitely a beginner. I'm not very good, but I really enjoy it. Fun is what it's all about and I do have fun playing chess. I'm beginning to get a complex.... I really only play for fun, I'm terrible at it, but I enjoy it, so what's the big deal??? Oh yes, I'm very outspoken, especially if a person tries to be something they aren't.. hate that.. be honest please or don't even bother to challenge me....SO LET'S PLAY CHESS.....
