I am married to the most wonderful man who I've known more years than I have not! We recently celebrated our 41 years of marriage. Our oldest son is our business partner. We farm in Mexico, growing papaya, honeydew and person-size watermelon. We travel back and forth to Mexico to take care of our business. This son is married and has two children. He lives in Mexico to oversee the business. Our middle son works for Clinical Pathology Lab. His wife is a doctor and recently opened her cosmetic dermatology clinic in Houston. Our youngest son is a realtor in McAllen, Texas, near where we live. He loves his work and his business is steadily growing. We lived in Mexico for three years to get our farming operation going. It was an exciting time for us! My hobbies are genealogy, home decorating and cooking. I love blogging! I am so very blessed to have a loving family... not only the family my husband and I created, but also my family of friends. Fall and winter months are when I enjoy blogging the most. Seasons change and I love keeping up with the change in my home. I have had some amazing experiences with my faith in Christ and I truly feel that God is always with me. I try to live my life the way God would have me live it.

Wondering what I want to be when I grow up... still wondering! ;-)
Genealogy is my passion

Tell it to your children,
and let your children tell it to their children,
and their children to the next generation.

Quotation by E.M Forster, British novelist
"We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
Think about it...
"A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow."
Conrad Bean (Robert De Niro - Wag the Dog (1997)
I used this quotation at my father's Rosary Service
“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. Yet that will be the beginning." Louis L'Amour
