Hi all...I'm new here and I have been enjoying all of the interesting posts and beautiful pictures! I live in central Illinois, I'm 53 yrs. old, married, have 2 children, 3 stepchildren and 8 grandchildren. Besides those passions......I love to quilt, cross stitch, (just about any needlework), paint, garden, and READ. Will try to come up with a picture...always been a little shy of the camera.
