RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi! My name is Terri. I have been happily married for 28 years to Jim. We have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy.
I have a grandaughter, Delilah. She is 18 months old.
We live in a rural area. We are animal lovers. We have 8 dogs, 6 cats, 2 rabbits and we have lots of ducks and geese.
I love to cook and love to try new recipes. My favorite cookbook is an old Betty Crocker Cookbook that I have had before I was married.
I like to sew, crochet and to do crafts. I am a 4-H Club Leader and I have a great group of kids this year. They keep me very busy and I wouldn't have it any other way. We do 3 fairs in the area.
I also like to go to auctions, yard sales and I am always buying items from the kids that they are selling to raise money for school, church or a youth group.
