I am a retired elementary teacher.  I taught for nearly 32 years before retiring.

I love to crochet, knit, sew, read, and cook,,,,as you can tell from my photo.

I live on a farm outside a small town.  We raise beef cattle.  They are Angus and Belted Galloway with a little Santa Gertrudis thrown in for good measure.  Belted Galloways are sometimes called Oreo cows.

I have two children and two grandchildren.

My son's family lives in Wisconsin.  He is an IT specialist and his wife is an Episcopal priest.

My daughter is a dance teacher.  She owns one studio and also works at another one.  She lives at home.
