Hi! I’m Mary.
I live in the beautiful state of Missouri with my husband (my best friend in the world), and two dogs; a Sheltie named Rusty and the newest addition to the family, Checkmate, a Finnish Spitz. Checkers looks like a large red fox. Pretty neat, huh! His picture will be on display at a later date.

Galen has recently published another web page. It has only been on the web for a short time, and already, he has received an award! It has a woodland theme, and it's a great page! After you sign my guestbook, go see Mnchkn's Patch of Woods. Can you tell I'm as proud of his accomplishment as he is? :)

My husband and I have 2 grown sons, Heath and Erick.

Heath, at only 23, owns his own business and also manages a chain of video rental stores. We are very proud of him and look forward to someday seeing his family expand.

We are also very proud of Erick, who recently turned 21, is employed at a local window factory, and is engaged to a lovely young woman. He has given us the honor of presenting us with our first grandchild, a beautiful little girl. Brianna is 4 years old now, and I wouldn’t trade one minute of my time spent with her.

She will soon be learning how to fish, an activity we enjoy immensely. I can hardly wait until we can start taking her with us. She will be attending pre-school soon, so look out teachers! I hope they enjoy her as much as we do.

We also enjoy hunting and attending auctions. I spend much of my day online, and have learned my way around the computer and the internet, a
"computer junkie", you might say. ;)

I am pretty much a homebody these days. I love it that I can stay at home. It is where I have always wanted to be. I know, not too many women would say that anymore. So I guess that makes me old-fashioned. Oh well! It’s just who I am.
You get what you see here.
