| Introduction | My husband and I have been married 29 1/2 years. We have 2 kids, one son-in-law and one girlfriend-in-law (?) (our son's girlfriend.) My husband asked me to marry him on our 2nd date -- and we had only known each other for 2 days. We each come from a big family. My family had 8 kids and his had 7. We love to travel - and get away as often as we can. I love to cook and bake and in the summer I grow a small herb garden. It's so much fun to go to my garden and pick fresh herbs to fix dinner with. I love strolling through farmers' markets and street markets. I love to look at the cookbooks in a bookstore--although I can't fit anymore on my shelves. I love having my own personal library in my house. |
