I am a wife, mother, and grandmother.I am also an artist. I paint with acrylics, make collages and other altered art. I love making cards for my friends and family.I also create Zentangles. My grandchildren are the loves of my life. I have 6: 4 girls and 2 boys. I also have a penpal in Western Australia, whom I've written for 44 years. We met in 2000 when she and her husband came to our home. We are planning a trip to visit them within a couple of years. I love learning about different cultures and like learning languages. I speak English and American Sign Language fluently and know a little Spanish and a little German.
