About the Author

We are all different; each with their own personal thoughts. No two are alike. I have so many people in my life enabling me to understand many of the differences. My abundance of family, all raised the same yet different in every way. We do not see our self as others see us. I have kept myself young enough to laugh and be sympathetic to all their problems. Now they are raising children and have grandchildren and are dealing with some of the same things I dealt with when they were kids. That's where the laughing part comes in. It's no wonder I love life. Sometimes as I watch them doing things I used to do I realize just how much of a hardship getting older can be. My key to longevity, stay busy. My latest adventure....painting rocks!
