Hi yall! For my first post today, I will be introducing myself and telling you a little about myself and what my blog will be about. 

I am a 47 year old woman from Texas. I have always loved writing. I guess I got that from my father who was a writer and a wonderful father, husband, soldier and man. I am married to a wonderful man who is a Navy veteran and I have 2 grown, wonderful children and two beautiful granddaughters who all live in Alabama. 

I also have one sibling, an older sister that isn't only my sister, but also is my best friend. She is married to a great man that I look up to and they have two awesome kids that has given them six beautiful grandchildren and four beautiful step-grandchildren. 

My parents was married for 50 years before my father passed away this past October. He will be missed greatly by all of us. Because of the closeness of my family, I consider myself very rich. I don't judge richness by money.

I have always loved plants and working with my hands. I love using what God gave us to live a better quality life; like drinking chamomile tea to treat insomnia or ginger to treat stomach issues. I also love the idea of extracting the essence from plants for various uses.

I have a bit of a creative streak. I love taking what some people consider trash and turning it into something useful. One time, I found some old dresser drawers in my late father-in-law's garage that he had planned to through away and I painted them to match our bedroom and put casters on them to slide under my bed for extra storage. 

There is always something to do with what people throw away. You just have to tap into your creative side to figure out what to do with it. 

Finding ways to survive in this world in case of an emergency like natural disasters, or a manmade disasters has always been a passion of mine too. Like finding ways to turn nasty, dirty water into safe, drinkable water with a limited amount of supplies.
