     11. My step-daughter made me a grandmother when I was only 35. (17 years ago.) O.k., don't lie. I know you're doing the math. Let me spare you the brain overload - I'm 52. And I now have 3 grand-kids!

My oldest grandbaby, born on June 17, 1996. Next to me is my son(T), - who became an uncle at age 4

   12.  My favorite Christian musician (other than my son) is Chris Tomlin. I have been to 3 of his concerts and will be going to a 4th on October 18th of this year! Can't get enough of his worship music!
  13. My step-son was tragically killed in a car accident his senior year of high school on December 26, 1996.
  14.  My favorite books, movies, etc. are historical fiction or biographical - most notably, from the late 19th-early 20th century time period. 
 15.  My least favorite are scary, murder, or super-natural stories...ghosts, demons, zombies, etc.
 16. When I was 5 years old, I had half of a kidney removed - a birth defect caused it to function improperly. I have not had any problems with it since then. 
 17.  My two favorite foods are mac & cheese and peanut butter. I could eat them every day and never get tired of them! 
 18. In the U.S. I've traveled as far west as Colorado, south as Florida, east as North/South Carolina, and north to the U.P. in Michigan.
