INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION

I am a Texas original, born and reared in the Midland, Texas area.  I am married to a wonderful man, Sam, who is a self-employed trucker.  We live in a one hundred year old barn that has been converted to a house.  We have three children and four wonderful grandchildren. 

I am the library media specialist for Lakeside 5^th Grade Learning Center in Plainview, Texas.  Before becoming the library media specialist, I was a classroom teacher.  I specialized in teaching reading.

My interests are anything in the outdoors.  I love to fish in a lake on our place.  I also love to hunt.  I also am an avid reader and a pretty good “gamma.”
