I'm a retired, elementary school teacher. I have been doing many crafts for years; I think it goes along with 34 years of teaching. LOL Teaching and crafts go hand in hand. I'm always interested in learning new things, as well. In May of 2003, I married my mailman, who was on my route for 5 yrs. It was a great 'over the mailbox' friendship. We both retired in June of 2003 and are having a great life together. We have a 2 year old, chocolate lab named Chloe, who entertains us quite a bit. She is a joy to have around.
