About Me

My photo
Smocking with Gwen
I'm a Southern girl, 64 years young, who loves my family and home. I am a wife, mother, sister and friend. Born in the Deep South and grew up while traveling with my Air Force husband, Dave. After 29 years, Dave retired from the Air Force and we have settled back in Georgia where we met. I have designed needlework but I really am a wannabe artist. I enjoy music, art, gardening, a “To Do” list that’s never ending and most of all playing with my grandchildren. I often say to Emma and Austin, “How did I get so lucky?” They always answer with the most precious smiles. I have a great respect for our heritage and try in my own little way to keep that Southern thread weaving through our lives.
