Antiquing. Enjoy being at the beach. Family and friends.

I like to poke around in antique stores. 

I am a collector of vintage pyrex and fire king dishes.

The beach is my haven when I need to unplug and get out of the city for a bit.

I have two dogs, Dalmatian mix (Dottie) and Malinois mix (Reba). Both of my girls are rescues.

I moved back to Texas from Omaha in October 2019. My dad became ill and I needed to be back home for him.
