: About Me

Mother of two, grandmother of one - oldest child of 9 born to two of the best parents one could have! Raised to respect God, others and myself. Always do my best and be proud of who I am.

Never written a published article - only did some writing for college. Enjoy reading, talking with friends and good fellowship.

Have 4 brothers and 3 sisters - all of whom I love dearly and am glad to be the oldest! That gives me a bit of seniority and certainly able to tell the most memorable stories. I like to tell my younger brothers and sisters that I changed their diapers - they have not had the pleasure to do that for me (not yet!).

Helping Mom was just something I did because she relied on me. I never thought of letting her down. She is such a wonderful lady and I am proud to be her daughter.

My passion is ...

Life - its challenges

I know too much about ...

My parents always told me ...

My favorite memory ...

Christmas Eves spent at my parents when my Dad and brother were still with us - Dad read the Christmas story and we all sang carols then opened the gifts and enjoyed each other

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I read the Bible often and watch the news channels to keep aware of the world events - listening to classical music is my favorite

My first job ...

picking peas for a farmer and working all day for just a small amount but thinking it was a lot

My best moment ...

When I became a Mom - having 2 children this moment has been given me twice - to know you have a hand in bringing another human being in the world

My inspiration ...

My Mom - God Bless Her! She is 81 but can still outsmart me about the Bible!

God is Good! I know He is because of what He has done. My mother who was a normally healthy lady in her early 50s was suddenly in severe stomach pain. So severe that she was hospital-bound. That in itself was major because she never went to a hospital except to give birth to her 9 children! When she arrived at the hospital it was discovered that she had a large tumor in her stomach. Upon removal, the doctors said it was cancer but due to its being contained in a sac, they 'hoped' it would not be an issue but just to be sure, they wanted her to have chemotherapy. Being the oldest, it was my...
