My entire family resides in Texas and we are only 20 minutes away from each other. I have been blessed with two sons both are intelligent, handsome, and have families of their own. Which include 4 adorable grandchildren that I will give the world. I enjoy reading, recording oral histories, swimming, movies and family gatherings.
Lastly, but not the least of them all, I enjoy meeting new people and listening and telling a good story, and nothing gives me greater satisfaction and fulfillment.
