More about me

Hi,
I am a wife and mother of 3. I'm a new grandma as of Oct. 30,2007. I am a teaching assistant in 1st grade. As I tell my students I have been stuck in 1st grade for 18 years. Little do they know, there is no where else I would rather be!

I love to read mostly fantasy and mysteries. I am just learning to quilt,I'm not that good at it but I enjoy making things for friends and family I hope to get better.

I look foward to retiring in 6 years, the count down begins. My husband says I'll never retire but I'm soooo ready!
