About Angel
Hi, I’m Angel. I’m a small town gal happily living the quiet life in Quincy, IL. I’m also a Navy veteran (I was restless when I was younger), having served 13 years enlisted as a Russian translator, mostly in Hawaii but also one short glorious year in England. I have a bachelor’s of science degree in liberal arts with a concentration in psychology (yes, that is a hodgepodge; long story), and a master’s degree in counseling, which hardly cover the scope of my science-geekiness, but they will have to do, because I am well-nigh sick of school! I have, during previous sojourns in higher education, majored in electrical engineering and geology. I don’t regret walking away from electrical engineering (I was straight out of high school then and clueless about what I wanted to do), but I really enjoyed studying geology, especially in Hawaii. I love rocks! Unfortunately, my Navy work schedule changed to rotating 12 hour shifts, and I simply could not take any more classes – certainly not upper-level geology classes. I also recently took some accounting classes, thinking I might like being an accountant. Basic accounting was interesting, but the upper level stuff was really boring. Ah well.
When I got out of the Navy, even though I could have gone anywhere, it didn’t take me long to decide where I wanted to live – my hometown, Quincy, IL. I’ve always loved Quincy, and feel it is a privilege to live here. I love small town life, and I love the Midwest, especially Illinois – both the geography and the culture.
I have a wide variety of interests, including gardening, sustainable farming, psychology, spirituality, history, arts and crafts, nutrition, low-carb lifestyle, and my MINI Cooper S, Lucy. I am a member of and actively involved with Unity Church of Quincy, IL. I am also an Illinois Master Gardener.
Yes, my given name is Angel. If you think that’s weird, you should hear what my middle name is!

I am in search of an oweners manual for a Salton GM5 Yogurt Maker. Your thrift market find is like mine I think. It is a GM5W don’t think that means a great deal. I tried to download the pdf file and it would only go so far and then stop. If you have the manual I would appreciate it if you would send me a copy for a fee of course if you have it. Like I said I have tried the pdf with no luck…Please help
Thank you Ginny
