Wife…of seven years…third time’s a charm…found the ping to her pong…her safety net…her sounding board…her grand adventure buddy…

Mother…of three amazing daughters…quirky…fun…out there making a difference in the world…am blessed to call them…Besties…

Love family…friends…neighborhood cats…thrifting…grandkids…Texas in the winter…reading…puzzles…cheese…cheese…and…you know it…more cheese…

Welcome to the ramblings of a midwestern old gal…young at heart…til she looks in the mirror…laugh with me…ponder with me…maybe even…cry with me…

But most importantly…feel free…to share with me…we all have a story…and everyone’s story…is beautiful…and important…
