     To tell you a little about myself,  my husband and I moved to Tennessee in 2008 in order to be closer to his family.  I am a native Texan and never thought I'd live anywhere but Texas, however I have learned to love Tennessee and it's warm people in the short time I have been here. 

     My husband and I began fostering horses for the Humane Society as soon as we were settled in.  Both of us are horse people and feel lucky to have the chance to help animals who need nothing more than food, clean water and basic care. 
We work very closely with the Coffee County Humane Society and  Silver Nail Stables to help the rescued horses in this part of Tennessee.

I enjoy sewing, crocheting, knitting, making greeting cards and almost any type of craft.  My latest thing is learning quilt making.  I am starting a class for beginner quilters in February and can hardly wait to begin.  The ladies at the Quilting Dreams in Tullahoma are so sweet and patient.  They will answer any and all questions no matter how silly they are and believe me, as a beginner quilter I think I have asked them all, but you may think of some I have missed!  Keep up with my challenges and successes on my blog.
