    About Me

    My husband and I have 4 children, 2 who live with their father in Missouri and 2 who live with their mother here in Arkansas. We have 2 dogs, a snake, a ferret, and a hamster. We have been through a lot, and now have the LORD in our lives. "Have faith in yourself and you will achieve, Miracles happen when you believe."

    Interests

    I love animals, nature, reading, reality TV shows, gardening, word puzzles, and much more. I of course love birdwatching. I love to fish, camp, swim, paint, draw, woodworking, and light sewing. I love all sorts of animals, and would love to become a veterinarian or run a shelter someday.

    • Hug

      From TunaMan January 14

      I wrote this poem several years ago and hope that you will enjoy it and that it may give comfort and reassurance into the meaning of life. It goes as follows: LIFE'S JOURNEY I pray that God will bless you At the start of each new day And grant you health and happiness And friends to share your way As you journey through this life To reach that Ultimate Goal May you find peace and happiness Deap within your soul The road is long and narrow Full of trials and sufferings too But you must continually endure it As the appropriate thing to do Each of us has a tunnel Either filled with thorns or roses We must travel through the thorny tunnel To achieve heaven and the roses.

      From poetrywriter December 26, 2007

      I Wish You... When you are lonely I wish you love. When you are down I wish you joy. When you are troubled I wish you peace. When things are complicated I wish you simple beauty. When things are chaotic I wish you inner peace. When things look empty I wish you hope... Teresa
