When I am not selling, painting, or writing, I am often spending time with my grandchildren Alex, Ben, Bays, and Lucille. I also enjoy tennis, gardening, and spending as much time as possible at the beach. I am aware that I am living an incredibly blessed life and feel that I am proof, “with God, all things are possible.”
