I am married, and the mother of three grown children, I also have eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. I am recently retired, so I love to spend time with my grandchildren, love to cook and garden, and enjoy nature, especially all the birds that visit the feeders in our backyard. I like to crochet and do other handcrafts. I have also done rock painting and would like to learn calligraphy. I have a passion for writing, and have been a snail mail writer for many years.
