Ann Hinds

Life changes on a daily basis and we are required to change with it. Our child is into baseball 24/7. When we have time, we travel in vintage trailers.

I am a quilter but have rediscovered crafting. Family history is an obsession. The profile background is where the home place stood in Sneedville, Tennessee.

Writing allows me to highlight the things that I like and the causes I champion because you never know, I might be into something else tomorrow.
