After 30 years in the business world I took an early retirement.Filling my extra time with gardening, crafting, knitting andhelping with our beloved grandchildren. However, there wasstill a void in my heart that needed to be fi lled. The fullnesscame when I started writing about memories from the past andpresent.My husband, Bob, and I have a blended marriage of 3 children,10 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren (at this time). I amsure there will be more greats to come. I was blessed to be ableto go to Israel in 2005. What a wonderful adventure I sharedwith many from the church we attended at that time.
