I was born in Toledo, Ohio and moved to Texas when I was 16 years old. I met and married my dear husband in 1948 and we were married January 23, 1949. He passed away with Hodgkin's Disease in 1971.

We have 4 children, 14 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren. All very special people, of course!! Of all the wonderful things in my life, I am most thankful first of all for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and secondly for my family. I know so many whose husbands are gone and who have very small families who live far away. All of mine are within 50 miles of me and we have family-wide get together's quite often besides all the regular visiting. I'm a happy camper!

Besides quilting (20 years) I enjoy cross stitching, crosswords, crocheting and reading, my favorite author being John Grisham. On a tip from Crazyquilter's, I borrowed "The Cat Who Went Into The Closet" from my library and enjoyed it very much. I also love the game of bridge and we have a good foursome every Sunday afternoon, and I play duplicate on the 4th Friday of each month.

I collect angels and small figurines of little boys and girls. I have found some darling ones not only at antique shops but also at junk shops and garage sales.
