    About Me

    I am 57 years old, retired (because of the fibro), married the love of my life on Valentine's Day 2006. We have one indoor cat (Tabbi Sue)...and a Yorkie/Pom mix named Hanna (Hanna Joy...but I call her Hanna Banana). (BTW...it is spelled H A N N A because it is the Hebrew spelling). God brought us to Independence, KS and found us a sweet little bungalow...and put us in a great little church. I love Jesus most of all....then my sweet husband (Brian)!!, also love to read, do crafts and sing (especially to the Lord!). Life is what you make it. You can wollow in self-pity...or thank God...in the good times AND in the bad. God bless you all.

    Interests

    Reading (especially Christian novels), crafts, singing, gardening (when my body allows it), church activities, making friends on DS!
