    • About Me

      I am 57, DWF, have 5 children, (4 grown, 1 young teen), RRMS, trigeminal neuralgia, severe chemical allergies and sensitivities, mild cyclic depression. Enough of that! I love to garden, hike, walk, swim occasionally in fresh water. I love Mother Earth and all she has to offer. I volunteer at schools (love to read to children) and work with the elderly. My children are my sunshine!
