Well I'm a Mother first and fore most to my boys and learning to be a friend to my daughters as they have a Mother and I just want to be their friend, (Clint & I don't like the word "step" and don't use it with the children) and I'm Clint's best friend, lover and wife!

Oh and I'm also mother to 3 dogs - one female deaf full bloodied Australian Cattle Dog and 2 male puggles. Makes for an interesting combination!

We are very active with Cub Scouts & now Boy Scouts too as our middle son recently crossed over earning his Arrow of Light! we enjoy camping, hiking, archery, shooting and fishing. I love working around the house, re-arranging and improving what I can, and am now learning about container planting since our yard is mostly rocks! - painting = both inside the house and decorative, crafting and being creative, Native American PowPow's, geneology, history and of course the Stone Mountain Highland Games & Scottish Festival - "diggin up history ~ living in a tent" (it's a line from a song) but basically it's learning about my heritage and where I came from . . .

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series - Jan Karon’s “Mitford Series” - I love to read but there really isn’t much time with all the children running around in different directions or should I say all the running around I do with them (which I wouldn't change for a million dollars)! But I love murder, mystery, historical fiction and of course romance - though I'm very picky about those - NOT those harlequin romance types!
