My husband, Max, and I have 7 amazing children (all grown and away from the nest). We also have 7 grandchildren that we don't get to see nearly often enough. Eons ago I taught Spanish, and was also a bilingual teacher in a multicultural classroom. I also helped school districts in the Midwest develop bilingual programs. As our children came along I retired from teaching for a living and transitioned to teaching for loving - I homeschooled our kids. When you stay with us, you will definitely see what a bookaholic I am! My husband and I have been missionaries to Ukraine, Argentina and also to Denmark. We plan on going to India (Max has already been there) sometime soon. Max is retired also after years of having a Pepperidge Farm business (Goldfish, anyone?).
