I am wife to Russ, mother to Sandy, Jim, Melissa, Doug and Jesseca, grandmother to 11 wonderful grandchildren which includes 1 super grandson. I love to quilt, read and spend time with my grandkids. Our family comes first in all things, of course our pets are family. We have 2 dogs, Molly, 11 yr, a rescue Beagle; and George Henry a terrier/beagle mix...found wandering the streets.
