I am retired (since 2017) and a recent transplant to Texas. I am also a mother of four, grandmother of 11, and have been happily married for 40 years.

Her Day

My day usually starts at 8 am, sitting in my sweats and drinking a cup of coffee to get me going.

My mornings are usually full as a volunteer. I only have a short time to wake up before I start my volunteer “job” at either Meals on Wheels or at my local parish.

After lunch, I take a few hours to read, do chores, and some exercise. Many nights I have meetings at church. My husband thinks I do too much.

Personal

Your goals? My goals are to help raise my grandkids to be compassionate and helpful citizens

Long term plans? To see all 50 states…I have 7 to go.

Biggest struggles in your life? Not saying “yes” to every request; fitting meaningful prayer time into my day.

What do you worry about? My family and my health.

What do you enjoy doing? I love to read, to travel, and to spend time with our grandkids.
