Cooking and Sewing
I love providing meals for my family. Trying new recipes or old favorite recipes and watching my family enjoy the meals makes my heart happy. Sewing is a special part of my life as my grandmothers, mom and sisters sew. I love to see the joy on faces when they receive a baby quilt that I have made. Yard work, or just sitting outside is another favorite part of my life. Sitting outside with my husband, talking about events and planning a future.
