  TRUE FRIENDSHIP is ETERNAL.

A big hello to all my minti friends.

Hi my name Janice and i'' 56 years old, married to a beautiful man by the name of Steve, he is my soul mate, my best friend and a very caring husband ( pictured with me above ). We live in a little coastal village called Woolgoolga on the north coast of new south wales.Population about 6000,consisting of alot of family owned business'' which we support.We moved here from sydney nearly 11 years ago and have never regretted the move. We live on 5 acres which gives us plenty of freedom, we call it our little piece of paradise. We live in a area of rain forests and the most beautiful beaches around,great for doing walks along which both Steve and i do alot.

I have two grown up children, Jamie who is , single and a CPA, a daughter Jane who is 40,married to David, has two children, Adam and Alya and is a policewoman.

Marriages. This is the second time around for both Steve and I,I have known Steve for twenty years, we have been married for 9 years. In marrying Steve I have adopted an extended family, a son David and his wife Freddie and four beautiful grandkids, Josuha, Zac, Natasha and Annika. Also A daughter Suzanne her husband Guy, two grandkids,Sophie and Jacques.

Steve and I both love being outdoors, we love walking especially along the beach,gardening (Steve), classical and country music,travelling, crosswords,being with each other and most of all family.

Steve has been involved with computers for 9 years, just recently he has been trying to get me involved too, I thought it was all abit scary for me until I came upon the minti web site, now Steve is saying to me, have i lost my computer.

As you can see I''''m not a mother of young children anymore and after reading alot of your stories i''''m not sure if i am out of my leaque but on the other hand Iam a mother of two adult children and a grandmother of 8 that must give me some experiences with life and raising children.I have broad shoulders if any of my minti friends just need to have a good cry, i''''m a good listener if any of minti friends just want to talk and with 54 years of lifes experiences im sure i can help many of my minti friends with adivice of the many stages a child will go through.I know many of the stages a child will go through can put stress on relationships and marriages and it nice to know someone is out that cares.

We dont have any domestic pets as such because we live on 5 acres we have alot of wildlife that come and go as they please, wallabies, kangaroos, possums, rainbow lorikeets, yellow breasted lorikeets,magpies, kookaburras they are all free but alot come to get fed especially when our ever changing climate does not bring them food. They give us alot pleasure and enjoyment with thier antics. Our children and grandkids love visiting to see all the wildlife especially to able to feed some of them.Many of our friends who have visitors bring them around to see nature at its best FREE.

Kindest Regards

Janice

Many thanks to my minti friends that made me feel very welcomed
