My family brings me a great deal of joy, although I must admit that they also have been the cause of much stress as well. I have 3 children, 3 grand children, and 3 great grands. I have been married for 33 years to a terrific gentleman. When I am not teaching, I spend a great deal of time gardening, reading, and taking beach walks. I love learning new things and meeting new people. I have traveled quite a bit, and hope to travel much more after I retire. I enjoy cooking, and enjoy trying different cuisines. I think of myself as analytical, spiritual, and adventurous.
