About Me

I am happily married to the man of my dreams. I have 4 children, 3 boys: Garry, William and David and 1 girl: Shelley. the oldest is 34 and the youngest is soon to be 21. I also have a step-daughter, Cecily, that is 15. With 7 grandchildren, 4 girls and 3 boys, I keep very busy at times. I also have two dogs a poodle: Dakota Outlaw "Cody" and a Red Nosed Pit Bull: "Santee". They are our babies and keep me company when my husband has to travel for work. I own my own business and have been doing this (Interior Decorating ) for 20 years with my sister coming into the business with me 10 years ago. My husband and I love to fish, go to yard sales and travel (though the travel part can be expensive) we do try to take at least one or two trips a year. We recently spent 10 days in Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado. I am Native American, Santee Dakota, and very proud of my heritage.
