    After working as a speech therapist / teacher for 24 years, I started working for Collette Vacations part-time in 1988 and then, in 1990, retired from education positions to work for Collette full time, working primarily in Europe & Australia. In 2008 after retiring from full-time tour guiding, I now work seasonally for the company and enjoy tours to Europe---Switzerland, Germany and Austria for the most part. Otherwise, I live in the small village of Fort Ritner with Ted, my high school boyfriend; we have 3 acres in Southern Indiana where we grew up and now,enjoy the quiet! We have 2 dogs and four chickens as well as a huge garden and lots of flowers. There seem to be an abundance of deer of late and some have been attracted to our garden where there are few remaining beets, beans, and corn as they have munched most to the ground. There is, however, a new yellow fencing tape blowing in the wind which will hopefully scare them off!
