About Me

  • About Me: I have been married for 29 years. We have one son who was homeschooled until he started college (he's now a senior and very involved in the political scene). Wouldn't trade homeschooling for anything in the world! We also have two older sons and one adorable grandson. I am a follower of Christ and seek to grow closer to him each day and to learn what He shares with me. I enjoy reading, quilting, and playing in my flowers. Oh yes, I also love animals...especially my little Yorkie, Dixie.
