My full name is Paulette Marie Michelle Rush Timm. It's no wonder when Mom brought me home from the hospital over 40 years ago that Dad took one look at my flaming red hair (just like his) and decided to call me his little red "Penny." The name ha s stayed with me all this time, even though my hair color did not.
I've spent most of my adult life in a town called, Springville, NY (south of Buffalo,NY). I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY.
I currently live and work in Orlando, FL at the University of Central Florida (UCF).
I relocated to Florida from Springville where I owned and operated a Bed & Breakfast called The Franklin House. Along with teaching computers at a local Community College and working for a NY State Assemblyman and Legislator, I decided to cut down the work load and get a "real" job like normal people. I hadn't worked the normal hours since Westinghouse West Valley in the late 80's.

As anyone who knows me can tell you, I love children. During the 31 years of marriage we (my husband Richard) and I have had 16 children. Yes, counting our biological children, adopted and foster, the count is 16. And "yes" I can name them all and give you their birthdays, even now, many years later.

Everyone knows where Buffalo is. It's the home of snow, ice, sleet and let me not forget, it is THE CITY of GOOD NEIGHBORS. Yes, Buffalo is the "City of Good Neighbors". I was born and raised there, in the city of Buffalo. The home of the famous chicken wing, that no one can reproduce,no matter what they say. Buffalo's central point of reference is the BUFFALO BILLS. Even though Orchard Park, N.Y. is the actual home of the NY State's only NFL team.

I am a grandmother of four adorable boys. The baby, Justin came into this world on Sept. 15, 1997 weighing a whopping 10 lb.15 oz. I guess he figured he would have to defend himself immediately. The twins, age 5, and an 9 year old going on 25. The y live in a small town named Chaffee, New York. It's about 40 miles south of Buffalo, NY.
