Welcome to:

Born in Texas, I have lived here most of my life. My large extended family mostly lives within an hour's drive of Dallas, and we get together often to cook, eat, see who can tell the funniest or most outrageous stories, and play with all of the babies.

We are a family of teachers, with ten of us currently teaching full-time. I love teaching, and can't imagine doing anything else with my life. I am currently teaching at an alternative school, in a program for students who have been unable to experience success in the traditional classroom. In the past, I have taught at two universities and one community college, and have also worked briefly as a probation officer.

I received my BA in English, and master's degree in English, education and psychology. My PhD is in British literature, with a focus on British novels of the 18th and 19th century. My husband teaches vocational electrical trades, but at a different school. It helps that we are both involved in education, and understand some of the frustrations and constraints of our chosen profession, as well as the rewards.

Hobbies and interests include music of all kinds, from classical to classic rock and roll. Reading, from 18th century British novels to the latest Cornwell mystery, and some fantasy and science fiction as well; needlework (sewing, quilting, embroidery, crochet); sailing, camping out, travelling, and taking long walks.

We sold our house a couple of years ago, and live in our Winnebago Journey motor home. This enables us to travel whenever the opportunity arises. My Husband and I have a wonderful boat that we enjoy at our lake on the weekends with our children.

We have a Pomeranian named Frankie, who thinks he is king of the world.
