I'm a quirky, silly, child-at-heart stay at home grandma. Six years I retired from the mental health profession six to raise my 5 year old grand daughter and 8 year old grand son and to take care of some health issues. It's been pretty challenging so far, but it does have it's rewards. I live in a mid-size North Texas city, with my husband, an old yellow lab named Lucy, a grand-cat named Ezra, and my ever sweet, ever patient saint of a husband, Zeke.

I love spoiling my grandkids in ways way I couldn't spoil my own five kids. Don't get me wrong, we don't have a ton of money, but we have more to spare then when my kids were little, so I'm happy. My grand son has Autism and ODD, so it's harder to spoil him the ways you'd normally spoil a kid but I try, and his sister is a typical girly-girl who loves princesses and Hello Kitty.

I recently decided to stop coloring my hair and embrace my salt and pepper, and chopped it all off. I've gone to wearing it short for the first time in my life, which is a big thing for me. I never thought I could pull it off, but I like it!

I watch a lot of Youtube, both with my grand kids and by myself. Probably more than I should, lol. The mini-episodes fit my schedule and short attention span just right.

Don't know if I should put this HERE but my address for verification purposes is:

I'm not a big tea drinker- I much prefer hot chocolate, I'm such a child, ha ha ha- but I plan on participating in tea swaps to gain experience and friends. Flavors I would enjoy most are orange spice, anise or licorice, cinnamon, green teas.
