Places I've been

I love going to New Salem, Illinois to see where Abraham Lincoln lived. They have a lot of neat stuff. They also do things from the day when he was alive like candle making in a kettle. I also like to visit Six Flags in St Louis and go to see the St Louis Cardinals ball games.

More about me

I am married with 2 married daughters. I just became a grandmama yesterday July 30, 2007 for the first time. I do not work because I am disabled. I love to read.  I love God.

I worked in insurance  most of my life. My husband is retired.

I now have a grandaughter born Dec 5.  I am a grandma times 2. The names are Drew Edwin and Josie Anne.  They got the name Josie from my son in law Bill's middle name Joseph. He passed away on August 11, 2008 of a massive Heart attack at the age of 24.

I have been crocheting a lot and doing a lot of jewelry beading. I will have 6 weeks off from babysitting since Alisha will be off on maternity leave. Then I will be really busy with two babies.
