Blessed from an early age to receive and acknowledge my spiritual gift of understanding. Love helping people. Especially love eHealth Forum for the unconditional love given by the wonderful people who give of themselves. Have two beautiful children who are loving and giving. I am blessed. Three beautiful grandchildren who are gifts. For all the gifts given to me, there have been a few challenges; however, the gifts have far exceeded the few hard times I have endured.

My vineyards, olive orchards, rose gardens, interior design, gourmet cooking for family and friends and myself, doll making, reading, entertaining, winemaker dinners and seminars, wine and olive oil competitions, just being able to be out in the vineyards working and talking and being with my babies.

Still reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. Got to a personal point in my life and had to lay the book aside. Also, of course, the most wonderful book of all time, Gone With The Wind.

Evita. Jesus Christ Superstar. Phantom of the Opera. I love rock opera. The Green Mile. The Crying Game.

Loaves and Fishes. My church. Gay rights. Right to life from the beginning to the end.

I am just a country girl who was blessed to be able to follow my dreams. Also, to have had a wonderful husband who loved me and trusted me to make good decisions on chosing our properties. Now, I am here taking care of what we built together. It is great to be able to go outside at night and the sky is brilliant with light from all the stars. We live in a rural area. I love it here.
