More About Me
We have 3 children and 8 grandchildren ranging in ages 6 to 25. I do a lot of crafts and enjoy teaching craft classes. We have done a lot of traveling covering all the states, but have just moved to an independent retirement facility, so trips will be shorter in duration and returning to places we like the best. We have a motorhome that we travel in.
