I love My God and My family above all. I am crazy about creative things. If one is attracted to the beauty of the earth and sky, then they are my instant friend. I adore little chil;dren and all the hilarious things they say.
Music
No hip hop, or rap, but I enjoy some of most every genre'
Books
I read and read and read, cozy murder mysteries, Patrick McManus, Malachy McCourt- I could only hope to write like him.
Movies/TV
Places In The Heart, Big Fish, Pride and Predudice, Sense and Sensibility, Gone With The Wind, anything with James Gardner in it.

I am proud to say that I share
my life with Stephen. He is
My husband and my best friend.
We have six grown children
who have blessed us greatly
with sixteen grandchildren.
My passion is writing, art, and
flower gardening. I have
published six books as of this
date and I have three more on
the horizon. They are available
at Barnes&Nobel,
Amazon.com, and LULU.com as well
as many other online
bookstores...
I love to write, paint, create,
and spoil our sixteen grandchildren.
There is nothing more precious than a child.
Educate them, train them, hug
and play with them, worry about
them and nose into their life.
Parenthood is not for cowards.
My favorite written prayer outside
of the Lord's Prayer is that of
Saint Francis of Asisi
"Lord, make me an
instrument of Thy peace,
Where there is hatred,
let me so love,
Where there is injury, pardon,
where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
where there is sadness, joy,
Oh Divine Master, grant,
that I may not so much seek to
be consoled as to console,
To be understood
as to understand,
To be loved as to love,
for it is in giving that we receive,
But it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that
we are born to eternal life."

Dream Vacation
Cobblestone streets and home baked breads
gave the village a sense of tranquility.
The scents that greeted me were torture
as I glimpsed my hips in a shop window.
I didn't want to fall back into eating rich butter
melted into ...

Easel poised
Hexed canvas sits near shafts of morning light
Self portrait of roundness, lines and smock
Walls covered in strings of drying paper hanging
Canvas touched as artist speaks
Come to me self portrait
Like a ghost in the ...
