More about me

Born in Wisconsin

Went to High School in Glenwood City

Attended Luther College, Decorah Iowa  for B.A.

Taught elementary school in Mason City, Iowa.

Went to Spokane, Washington for graduate work at Whitworth College and worked for District 81 teaching there.  Graduated in May with an M.Ed. and married in June.

Came to Pennsylvania for awhile after marriage.

One year later, we started moving with husband's company: Nebraska, California, Virgininia, Texas, then back to Pennsylvania.  Two sons were born in California.

We live in a small town here and my sons are now almost grown.  One is in the Marine Corps Band and the other will attend college in NC this fall (2007). I am a teacher in a small private school, which keeps me busy 10 months of the year. 

I would like to write more, but I have not had time to be creative.  Launching boys takes a lot of time.  (I am sure it is with girls too, but I haven't done it.) Working on "this old house" is a constant effort and demand for my time too, as it is always needing some improvement.  Now are sons will be "off yondering" and we will want to seem them a few times these upcoming years. 

Other things I do:  Jazzercize, walking, reading, gardening, and beading.
