My photo
Barbara
Washington, United States
Married to my high school sweetheart for 59 years, we have two children, a son and a daughter, now grown with spouses that we love and children of their own (we have four grandchildren, three great grandchildren, and a granddaughter-in-law). I now spend a lot of my time with my hobbies (art and scrapbooking). Before retirement as a public educator, I taught HS, Kg, 5th gr, college Eng, college educ courses, and Gifted K-9. I was a technology coordinator for a school district and also worked for IBM K-12 Education. I taught private piano for many years. I love: Jesus Christ, my Redeemer and Master; my husband; my family; my church; my friends; my life. I like: my hobbies; puppies; teddy bears; coffee; spring days; autumn days; living in the woods; cooking for my family; traveling with my husband; playing piano.
