I am retired SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) and the grandma of one little boy, Thomas, who is two years old. I have three daughters.

Interesting thing about me:
I do volunteer work at a state prison, I mentor female inmates who are withing 6 months of parol and for 6 months after they are paroled.

I live in the beautiful state of Tennessee and love it.
We have many pets (too many) and love them all.

I love to read, write and take pictures!

All I Wanted Was a Cup of Coffee....And I Ended Up In Coffeeholics Anonymous
