I have lived my entire life in Minnesota. I was born and raised on a dairy farm in the central part of the state and now reside near the town of Pine River. I have three grown sons and six grand children. I enjoy outdoor activities including gardening, fishing and long walks. When I'm not spending time with my family or outdoors in my flower gardens, I will be busy quilting, cooking, or visiting with friends and neighbors over a fresh cup of hot coffee.
