About Me

Gastroparesis
Awareness

I'm a Duranie at heart. I also love to do arts and crafts, especially beading and needle point. I love meeting new people with similar interests. I'm an animal lover and have two min pins that are my furbabies. I love my friends and my family. I have one brother in Louisiana, 2 half brothers in Arizona, 1 half brother in New Mexico, and my beautiful half sister in Tennessee. I happen to be the oldest of this bunch.

Dental Problems caused by the lovely Gastroparesis
