About Me

My photo
I live in The Dalles with my husband, dog, and our cat. We have 3 wonderful and terrific grown children who are involved or married with kind and loving people. I am a happy and positive person. I teach at Sherman County High School, specializing with students who need help in reading and math. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 5, and having this dream come true is simply amazing. I try hard to serve Christ daily, although I fall short often. I love to celebrate all aspects of life and things big and small. Most people have a favorite season, I however, find beauty in each season and look forward to the change. I love to be outdoors and I am beginning a new journey with photography.

We met the girls in Portland. We had a great time at the Cheesecake Factory and Pittock Mansion. The Pittock Mansion is a French Renaissance Style "chateau" in the West Hills of Portland. There are 22 rooms and it sits on 46 acres. There is a great panoramic view of Downtown Portland. It is beautiful and ornate. The Cheesecake Factory was fantastic. My very first visit and I was very impressed. A great day with the girls!!! We had such a good time.




Such pretty colors.
