Seven Things About Myself:

1. We were married the summer after high school and have been married forty years this coming October.  Yes, we were high school sweethearts.
2. We have three wonderful children, two boys and a girl…yes the girl came last and she is probably a little spoiled.
3. We have eight grandchildren ranging in age from 1 month to 20 years old.  Our grandchildren mean the world to us.
4. We love to cook and bake!  From the stove to a campfire, you will find us making yummy food.
5. We love to travel, but Linda has travel anxiety.  This makes it difficult for us, but Fred is supportive and at times, Linda can actually travel solo now.  
6. We can’t agree on our future…Linda would love to sell everything and travel the world by RV, plane, and train! Fred wants to be more grounded and keep the house and travel more casually.  
7. We are both teachers, Linda was an elementary and middle school teacher for 14 years and retired in 2016.  Fred is a criminal justice instructor at a local technical campus.
