I am a 58 yr. old, divorced mother of 2 (a son, and a daughter), and three granddaughters (7 yrs. old and 17 yr. old twins). I am a disabled veteran of the U. S. Army just short of 17 years. I am a published poet, a seamstress, and I make my own jewelry. The center of my life is my family, especially my 105 year old granmother. She is my confidante, my friend, and my advisor.
