About Me
I am a wife, mother, and grandmother who loves the Lord and my family. I taught first grade until my first son was born, and have been an interpreter for the Deaf for many years.
We have three grown and married children, their dear spouses, and eight darling grandchildren ranging from 3yo-12yo, who are all a very integral part of our lives.
We have three very quirky characters for pets...two dogs and a cat.
Interests:
BIRDS: I feed, watch, and paint birds PAINTING: I paint (acrylics, watercolor, oils) on anything that will stand still long enough, including murals for family homes, canvases, wood pieces. I design and paint cards as I practice new techniques. SEWING: I sew all the lab shirts for my dentist-son (who is 6'5") and my school-nurse daughter-in-law (who is 5'3") since they have unique fitting needs. I fill requests for "Gramamma" to create costumes (king suits, princess dresses, dinosaurs. robots, etc) and to mend well-loved toys. I also love quilting. KNITTING & CROCHET: I've knitted/crocheted little dresses for my daughter, granddaughter, and a friend's baby girl. Also I've made many dishcloths, since they're quick projects and give me the fun of different patterns (I think I like the knitted ones best for actual use in the kitchen). I have many uncompleted slower projects in the works, which I hope to finish before I leave this earth. HOSPITALITY: We have a monthly "Deaf Potluck" in my home that usually stretches all day and into the night. There's always lots of food and fun for the 15-20 folks who always show up, and it gives me good reason to straighten and clean up the house! I am always open for any excuse to invite family and/or friends in. GOD & CHURCH: My relationship with the Lord has first priority in all else I do. In our church I'm active on the Visual Arts Team, and have participated in our art shows. For the Drama Team, I've helped with painting scenes and sewing costumes. Twice I have had the great joy of interpreting intense concerts by Damaris Carbaugh...once at a Word of Life women's retreat, and last year in our own church here in Upstate New York. I've also interpreted church services and taught Deaf adult Sunday School and occasional home Bible studies for many years, starting back in 1979.My Photos (46)

Hi, Ed! Nice to get your note here with its sparkly fireworks display! Thanks!
My DH would love this one...he's a licensed professional in this field, and will be doing the big show for our area on the Fourth.
Our whole family will be coming in from out of state to watch them together. Fun!!!
Love that "Kinge" of the beasts icon, by the way!

Thank you BJ. I didn't think that butterfly would stay there until I got my camera, but he did. Those lilies smell as beautiful as they look and I can't wait for them to bloom again. Have a great day.
