I have lived my whole life in Iowa. I'm an only child. We have 2 adopted children, a son who is 40 yrs. old and a daughter who is 37 yrs. old. We have 2 granddaughters and another granddaughter due July 25th from our daughter living in VT and a grandson from our son living in VA. Which are the apple of our eye.

I have been married to my childhood sweetheart for 50 years this coming July 21. 2013.

I love to travel and we are trying to visit all 50 states. I have been in 44 states so far and my husband has been in 43.

I collect dolls and have made 2 porcelain dolls and made their clothes also. I had 500 dolls when they were packed away after I became a teenager. That included the small dolls that were used in the old metal doll houses up to an original Shirley Temple doll. I had many of the storybook dolls. I lost most of my childhood dolls in the flood of 1993.
