I am an average girl. I have 9 children and 4 grandchildren. I have been married for 20 years. My favorite thing to do is to entertain. I really enjoy cooking, baking and dutch ovening cooking. I love vegetable and flower gardening. I also love to sew. I am a stay at home mom. My favorite things to cook are nutritious meals for my family and friends. I love to have my friends over on their birthdays and cook them their favorite meal. My favorite cooking tradition is to bake and cook for our family caroling party in December. I had a friend tell me that I baked Pumpkin Pie just like his mother. She has been gone for many years. Taking cookies to a church event and someone commenting on how hard they were. (They didn't know I was sitting at the same table.)
