I have not posted in a while, bad me. I kind of started this blog to jump start my brain. I can blame not writing on a lot of things, but it comes down to laziness on my part. So this morning as I wait to see the sun come up I will tell you a little about myself.

My name is Lori, yet I go by Renee. I am in my 40s and loving it, I live in New Hampshire. I am the mother to 2 beautiful young woman, Tara and Claire. I have a live in lover (oh do I love to say that word) who is Joe aka Andy West.

My greatest achievement is my two girls, Tara and Claire. I brought them up alone without and outside help. I am now starting to feel that I did it right! (I use to feel that I let them down) My girls are strong in both mind and body, they look at life as an adventure. Neither one of them is materialistic, they like nice things, but it does not define them.

Tara is 25 and live in San Francisco. She has been there for almost 3 years now. She will start school this coming Jan. (Very excited about this) She is bright and funny and always on the go it seems. She has a taste for life and is a free spirit. She really takes after my mom's side of the family.

Claire is 21 and live at home with me. She started school this past fall!!!! (I am so proud of her) Like me, school was not easy for Claire. Claire is a old soul, she is me and my grandpa Tompkins rolled into one. She is a late social bloomer, in the past 12 months her world has opened up.

Well the sun is coming up, so I want to go out and watch it. I will write more later.
