I am a 50 something single mother with 2 sons (aged 21 and 19) both still living at home. I lived in the U.S from 1985 until 1995, mainly in the Bay Area of San Francisco. However I did spend a year in Dillingham Alaska (that was weird!)and also a period of time in Seattle and Aspen.
Both my sons were born in Greenbrae General Hospital in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. I returned to Australia when the boys were 3 and 5y.o. They did go back and live with their father in the U.S 1998-2000. Since returning to Australia, they have visited their father once, about 2 years ago and are planning to go back for a vacation at the end of the year (2011).
One of my interests is following politics both in Australia as well as internationally. Obviously, with my strong connection and affection for the United States, I still avidly follow events there.
