Growing up, my parents, sister, and I "vacationed" on this land in a cabin my parents built.
I was raised with the best of both worlds: city life and country living. I learned to enjoy what nature had to offer, and also the love of reading. At the cabin there wasn't the amenities of home, such as TV. I learned to love to read.
I love waking up every morning to see the deer in my yard. I also enjoy getting on our four-wheeler and riding through the woods, just enjoying nature.
I am married to the love of my life, and we have three kids and nine grandchildren. I love reading to my grand kids and getting them interested in books.
Reading to my kids and grandchildren gave me ideas about writing a book. It is something I have always wanted to give to them, from me: the love of reading.view less
