I was born on a small farm in rural Berrien County, Michigan 1952. (You do the math.) I attended a two-room country school. In 1970 I graduated from the newly formed Lake Michigan Catholic High School in St. Joseph, Michigan.

My husband, Terry, and I have been married since 1972. We have raised two wonderful, handsome sons, Eric and Marc. Eric is married and has given me a great daughter-in-law. Marc is now attending Michigan State University.

I have 3 cats, at the moment, one over-weight Cocker Spaniel that sleeps 23 hours a day, and also one grand-dog.

I’m a homemaker and I also own and operate a small business from my home, Mother’s Memories.

My passions and obsessions include the following: writing, reading, miniatures, genealogy and a fine collection of dust that is now growing under my bed.

Music permeates my life. At the top of the list is, of course, the greatest if not most underrated of all bands in the entire universe...and beyond.....STYX. I have been a die-hard fan since 1976. Tommy Shaw being the major driving force behind my obsession. His talent and musicianship is incredible. And he’s pretty darn easy on the eyes too. Hence that leads us to my 2nd favorite band of all-time: Damn Yankees.

Thanks for stopping by. Browse awhile. Sign my guestbook.
