I am a mother of 2, stepmother of 3 and grandmother of 9. During the day I triage with hospitals for donations and evenings & weekends are dedicated to my husband and to church activities (with ministry in music & drama). I love to try new recipes and my husband is my very willing guinea pig (he suggested that I am intent on keeping him overfed and stout).
