I am 92 + years old. I have always enjoyed writing, so in 2000 when I retired with my beloved lifetime husband in Kerrville, Texas and we built a beautiful home on a hill with a glass wall facing the Hill Country hills, I decided to write about my life so that my children and the generations that follow will learn something about life as it was during my own years, the good and the not-so-good. After my children were on their own, I worked at NASA Space Center and received a National Manned Flight Awareness Honoree Award with a flight to Florida and the nighttime launch of a Shuttle. My husband got to go too, and we spent a week there. It was spectacular! I didn't write constantly because we spent many years in our retirement doing exciting things that took us to many places around the nation and the world. We have always, and still are, active in church. God has blessed us many times, and we are so grateful.
