I am an extroverted introvert and a native Texan with degrees in political science and healthcare. I love to crochet, cross stitch, read and travel, although have not traveled out of the country since traveling to Ireland in 2017. I adore learning about the day-to-day lives of people in other parts of the world and have always been intrigued by other dialects and languages. My husband and I have 2 adult children, 5 rescue dogs and 1 rescue cat. Needless to say, we love animals! I grew up in the big city but spent summers in the countryside of East Texas. I now live in the countryside full-time
