ABOUT ME

I love to travel. Started out when I was 12 and zigzagged through Europe with my family. I can get totally caught up in making travel plans and forget about everything else!
Right now, I am doing the mom-thing driving kids all over, helping with homework, and stuff. I've also taught school and been a homebuilder.
I grew up in Texas, went to college near Chicago, married and moved to Colorado and now live in Minnesota. As a result, I get to go somewhere to thaw out every year. :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can."
-John Wesley
