Life has given me seven children, eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild. My motto is -- "It only takes imagination, yours or mine." I started writing here over seven years ago but a lot of my work was copied from my successful former website, which I authored for ten years. I am constantly reviewing and revising so that these hubs are the best they can be with some additional hubs when I am blessed with a new inspiration.
