    • About Me

      I have been married 19 years , my hubby has just retired after 20 years in the Navy.We live in Virginia but are originally from the beautiful state of Kentucky, I am the mom of Matt age 13 and Jake age 8, hauling them around keeps me on the run. I love too cook, I love a good mystery, I sometimes write stories posted on the internet. I do embroidery and love too garden.I would love too write a cookbook someday or have my own website. I collect cookbooks, and have a pretty extensive coin collection from places all around the world my husband visited. My husband and I are both diabetics so we are into the fund raisers for a cure so hopefully our kids will never get it, I am a active member of the PTA and class mom for my 2nd grader.Maybe if my life ever settles down I can finally go back too school for my degree, .
