Well, it's morning for me...I'm an early bird! Of all the VA sites I've run across, this one is the most informative! I have a small, young practice in southwest Ohio. I am currently enrolled full-time in the Entrepreneurship Program at Sinclair Community College so I'm not trying to grow my client base right now. I have 5 & 6 year old boys, a horse & pony, dog, cat and cockateil, oh and Hubby! I have been doing 'VA' type work for friends and family for a few years now and I took one of the buyouts Ford offered to stay at home with the boys. I have 3 1/2 years left to get my education completed and my practice built when Ford stops paying me. I'm looking forward to meeting ya'll and learning from you! Viki Garrison
