The Two of Us    My name is Patricia but I have always been called Pat. I have been married to a marvelous man called Joe and we just celebrated our 37th. anniversary. We live in a city called Cambridge, about a 90 minute drive west of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We were both born and raised in Toronto. Then we moved to Mississauga. We spent 27 years there before we moved to Campbellville, and have now since moved again to Cambridge where we ave been almost 2 months. I spent my whole working career as an elementary school teacher with the Toronto Board of Education. I taught all grades from Junior Kindergarten to Grade Six, except Grade One. I spent the last three and a half years of my career as our school's Teacher-Librarian. I worked with all the classess in the school doing research skills, instilling, hopefully, a love of reading, and teaching computer skills. Just a little less than 9 years ago I retired after 35 years in the most marvelous career I could have ever wished for. It is a challenging one, but the rewards are great. Joe, during his career, worked at many jobs before he finally had to retire on a medical disability from another Board of Education. He has suffered with fibromyalgia ever since undergoing double bypass heart surgery seventeen years ago and also 2 heart attacks and quadruple bypass just about 7 years ago, and now this past June another major heartache leaving him with less than 25% of his heart still functionning. I cannot say how much I also admire him for the courage he displays in what he endures everyday. He suffers 24 hours a day with constant pain. I enjoy doing crafts of all kinds, reading when I get the chance, but especially, working on my computer and sharing my artwork via this website. Joe loves old movies, watching nature programmes, but unfortunately his love of puttering in the garden has now been stopped. MAIN INDEX
