I was born in Missouri, married an Air Force member and moved from Missouri to Nebraska to Ohio and back to Missouri. In 1980, our family moved to Texas and we have been here since, with no plans to leave.
I have four children, and four granddaughters, all 21 or over. I love spending time with them and the rest of my family. My husband passed away in 2002 and in 2005, I married a Texan. I retired from Property Management and enjoy reading, traveling, and the computer, when not with my family. This year my husband and I decided to try clock sales on a website. I love clocks and have had over 100 in our home at one time. I love hearing them chime, ring and sing. Now we are working on another site for bird houses and feeders. We found that watching and feeding the birds from our living room window, the colors, songs and habits of the birds are very interesting and beautiful. |
