About Me

I am married for almost 30 years and the mother of three children. Two grown daughters and one 10 year old boy whom we adopted from foster care. I live in small town in Northern Michigan where we have access to wonderful nature trails, beautiful lakes and rivers and great seasonal changes. I live just below the famed Mackinaw Bridge. I have lived in Northern Michigan since I was 8 years old. I am active with my children in the school activities and love the summers camping and spending time with my family.
