Annice Brown

In 1996, at the age of 42, I got married –- for the first time. That means I was single most of my life, despite both significant and insignificant relationships. I was living in Washington, DC, working at the World Bank and traveling to Asia, Africa and Europe. In 2000, my husband and I decided to leave our hectic urban life full of friends, unforgettable dinner parties and politics galore in search of a simpler life. We headed for the mountains of Asheville, NC and I guess that makes me a Southerner by choice. ’m happy to say, tough as it was at first, I’ve found work and friends, some of whom are part of a blog we’ve created http://www.oops50.com/ for women over 50.
