About Me

Hi! My name's Jo-Ann -- I'm a Christian, married to an avid bird watcher who has taught me so much about wildlife for 46
years, mother of three grown children (2 sons, 1 daughter), grandmother of an 8 year old grandson, Levi, a 7 year old granddaughter, Ruby and Levi's four month old brother, Jadon. I enjoy gardening, sewing, knitting, painting, music, and am thoroughly enjoying my newest hobby -- photography. We're retired (but busier than we've ever been!) and like to travel and see new places.
