About Me

A long, long time ago during the Great Baby Boom, in a land far, far away.. well, Wisconsin anyway, I was born. Three years and a long crowded car ride later, I found myself living in Iowa where I've happily remained for the last 48 years. During those 48 years, I met and married my husband of 33 years, who I would absolutely be lost without.

Words To Live By...People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.The good you do today, may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It never was between, You and Them anyway. -Mother Teresa
