I am a reader from waaaay back. My mom says I used to sit in the bed with her when she studied for her college classes and read “like Mommy is”. I’d rather read than just about anything. When I was a kid, I read everything including the Cheerios box. I have a bit more discriminating taste these days and gravitate toward romantic suspense. Since I don’t need all that descriptive graphic stuff, I tend to read Love Inspired and other “clean” books. A good, well developed (or developing) relationship is much more satisfying.
I am past fifty but that’s just a number. I’ve always been an “old soul”. After 30 years as an accountant and many vows that I’d never be a teacher like my mom, I am now just that—a teacher. I teach 8th graders. (Enough said!) To feed my book habit, I still prepare income taxes each year so my Springs are quite busy.
I am the proud mother of a 22 year old son in graduate school and a seventeen year old son who will graduate from high school in about 6 weeks. I am proud to say that they both have big hearts for God and are and will be doing great things in His service. I can only aspire to what they feel and do.
I love to travel but always love to return home to the great state of Arkansas and the small town of Sheridan where I live. (I sometimes get great ideas for places to visit from the books I read.)
That just about sums me up—loves books, loves to travel, loves being a mom to my boys, loves God. Just add loves a great walk in nature and a good Sunday nap and call it good.
