About me:

I'm wife to Steve and mother to Annabelle, katie915, Hilary, and Andy. I've been busy putting down roots for many years: marriage, babies, mortgages and the like. After a 25 year nursing career, it was my "soul" journey that took me to seminary and priest ordination in the Episcopal Church. With any luck, Steve and I will soon begin traveling more to see our grown-up traveling babies.

Does a trip to Sparks qualify as visiting one of your traveling babies? I love you. Hilary

I just love you so much Mama. Will you please write a book. I'd read it faster than Andy is going to read Harry Potter. And then I's read it again, slowly.
