I have worked all of my life starting when I was 4 in the potato fields in the German mountains with my grandfather, and in the corn, tobacco, melon, and cotton fields in America. Then I worked textiles, making yarn, then weaving yarn, then packing shirts, and in the toy factory. During this time I also made ocean crafts for sale. I bar tended for many years and worked waitressing starting when I was ten years old to help support my sisters and then my children. I painted houses, and did yard work to support my family. I like gardening, music, dancing, going to church, making ocean crafts, hair styling, walking on the beach, spending time with my family, and helping people.view less
