About Me:

I am a wife,Â a mother of two, a grandmother of five, a writer, an artist, a balloon folding, face painting clown, a child development teacher and a caregiver for elderly parents.

I want to go on more "daycations" with my husband, write stories for children and adults, paint in acrylics and oil, create wood graphics and furniture, sew memory quilts and make a difference in the lives of my students.

I should make more time for myself, work harder on staying healthy, minimalize my problems, be more spontaneous, follow my dreams and love voraciously for the time I am here.
