This is my 30th year of teaching, and my 4th year as a librarian.  I have a son who is married and lives in McKinney. His wife is about to have a baby in December, so I will be a grandmother soon!   I have the cutest pets ever … a dog named Jackie and a cat named Bobbie.  Jackie is a jack russell terrier, so that’s where I got her name.  Bobbie looked like a tiny bobcat when she was a baby, so that’s where she got her name.  I love art and making mosaics out of broken tile. I’m trying to learn how to oil paint, but I’m not very good yet.  I want to learn how to do glass blowing someday. I do many other art projects and love to make colorful, creative things.  I love anything and everything about the ocean, like fishing, SCUBA diving, and finding sea glass on the beach.  I take as many trips as possible to the beach. In fact, I love to travel to new places around the world, so I take trips to other places not on the beach as well.
