I was born in Monahans Texas although my parents actually did not live there they lived in Midland Texas but while visiting my father's sister Dorothy Knott my mother went into labor. I was born 3 months early weighed in at 3.8 pounds. I am the middle child having an older brother and sister and two younger brother's.

I have 7 children and 3 grandchild and one step grand child. I love life, I love the land and all of God's creations. I love to garden, sew, and cook. I love photography and I write poetry. I am a very devout Christian.
