I have three lovely daughters, seven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Having retired in November 2011, I now am devoting time to two of my passions: reading and writing. I also love cooking, growing herbs, being involved in my church, and being with my family. I treasure the time I spent as a child going to my grandparents’ farm. The lessons they taught are priceless. I want to savor life each and every day and thank God for all my blessings.view less
