Hi There! I live in the beautiful state of Arizona. You will be most familiar with this part of the country from many of the old western movies, although it is definitely not the 'wild wild west' anymore. But I love living here! I grew up across the country in Michigan, surrounded by water and surviving harsh winters. Now I'm a desert dweller. I'm a mom of 3, grandmother of 5 and a wife of 33 years. I have visited 48 of the 50 US states and 28 National Parks. I LOVE history, historical fiction in both book and movie form and right now, I'm fascinated with genealogy research!
