Profile
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!
