About Me
- About Me: I am a wife, mother and poet. I am a tutor for at-risk kids. I love being by the sea more than anything but that is impossible since I left my roots in North Carolina and moved to North Dakota. I have 4 wonderful children, mostly all grown now. I love country music, going for a cafe au lait, Barnes and Nobles, ice cream, flower gardens, and reading.

Haha. Well, I do like the picture slideshow, and the picture of the girl feeding the gulls. Reminds me of when I used to do that when I would visit my great-grandmother's house. (She lived on the Gulf.) ^.^
