Tacoma is my hometown and I love it!  Having lived in the North End for almost my entire life, it is where I work, play, go to church and just hang out. I have two beautiful daughters, who are married to terrific guys that are cousins, (I know, it is crazy), two fantastic grandchildren and two great grandsons! I live just above Old Town in a mid-century modern rambler and house traveling nurses.  As a second-generation Italian, with help from MakesYouFluent, I am struggling to learn to speak Italian.  I enjoy reading and am working on my bucket list of the 100 greatest books ever written! I don’t exercise as much as I should but am still a member of Planet Fitness. I have been blessed for over 30 years, to serve as a Lector at St. Patrick Church.
