I am the mother of two sons and the grandmother of one grandson and two granddaughters. I am a big fan of music, cooking and water sports. I love to go fishing and I love learning new things. I enjoy writing in my role as a "hubber", and I hope you will check out some of my hubs. I have now been on this site for over 3 years and I am still "closing in" on my first 100 hubs. I have read countless articles and I have to say, there are some very talented people on here. I enjoy reading the many interesting articles and I see that most people have something important to contribute, whether it be knowledge, humor, or just their own personal point of view.
