I am a Senior Citizen with an invalid husband and two, lovely Yorkies, Sparky Anderson and Allister McMurphy. I have three children; two live in our area and one in heaven. I also 5 highly intelligent, beautiful grandchildren. I love to cook and try new dishes. My daughter in law wants me to create my very own cookbook. As I season by taste and a bit of this and that, it's going to be hard to do, but thought I would give it a try.
