    • About Me

      I was a high school teacher until my health became too poor. I am married and have a 19 yr old son, 22 yr old daughter and a son who is turning 11. I also have two grandchildren--one that was adopted at birth by a great family and is 6 years old now, and my granddaughter who is 3. I am a Christian. Though I don't try to convert others or focus on religion, it is an important part of my life. I want to make some positive changes in my life, incl. making some friends and finding/giving support.
