TERESA

“Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.”

About Me

Charles DuBois: “The important thing is this, to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”This has been my whole life, one change after another. Charles Darwin said “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change”.My only stability is my ever growing family. Like I said this is my life, my stability comes from constant change. Right now I have 6 fantastic children, at last count I have 5 grandchildren, (however that is about to change), and I have 2 step grandchildren. I have a daughter –in –law, a son-in-law and it looks like I will have another son-in-law next spring. (Like I said things change, it looks like I will have a new Daughter-in-Law next Spring also). I would tell you more about them, what they do, where they live, but that might all change. I would tell you what I do, but that to might change. I love my family and my life. I suppose I would describe myself and my children as nothing less then a paradox: noun, 1.) “a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.”So have a seat, strap in and hold on tight. The ride has only just begun.
