About Me

Like it says in the upper left hand corner, im a female living in Minnesota in the U.S of A. I am married incredibly for 33 years and we have 4 children,Dana,a 33 year old capable, hardworking,young man with a wonderful sense of adventure and great taste in music who runs the family business and truly needs a wife. Anna, a capable, hardworking young woman of 30 years who's faith and clear thinking and kindness centers everyone around her. Anna runs the offices of the family business. Anna also has a fine husband named Branden and a little boy named Lee who traveled from half way around the world to be a part of our family. We should all thank our lucky stars for both Dana and Anna. Up next is David, who has been labeled with Autism spectrum disorder but who consistently out thinks out creates and out performs all who know him. David is a marvel and lives on a higher plane than me. He's 16 this year. He inspires me and makes me real. Last of all is Halle, spitfire and skyrockets! This half horse half girl is the one they all said would keep me young. Oh ya! She was born a one woman variety show! Halle is 14. There is no limit to what Halle can do. Fly high and fast little bird. I remember being just a little girl and wondering what my children would be like ... well I'm just amazed, and always entertained. When I look out my living room window I see a beautiful vista of woods and pasture. Our horses grazing , serenely bored waiting for me to come and take them out for a trail ride. Who am I to disappoint them. Actually they want me to feed them .The trails heading out from the far corner of the property are in fact awesome. After my maternal instincts and marital bliss I live for the woodland trails on the back of my horse.The north woods of Minnesota are indeed Gods country.We got bald eagles!! Lots of them, and more deer then you can count and coyotes and bear and eccentric neighbors, I love music and those who communicate with music. Singers and musicians and artists make me feel comfortable. It's a soul thing.... You know music is the only thing that can make you cry. Words and art will make you think and the thinking can make you cry but music will just rip it right out of your chest. Music is the ultimate expression of human emotion. I'll bet God doesn't talk I'll bet he sings.
