I love to travel and learn about other cultures. I am especially interested in Tatar and Russian culture and have made many friends in Tatarstan during my visits. I love the arts, reading non-fiction, nature (and being in it), family and friends. I am married with 3 adult children and 3 precious granddaughters who live in Louisiana where I am originally from. I moved to Michigan 16 years ago and call it home because God has blessed me with many wonderful friends here who are like family.
