Fun Fact about yourself!

“After sending my two sons to college, I naturally had more time to focus on myself than as a full-time mother. So, I quit teaching preschool and became a barista related to coffee which I enjoyed and liked. After taking a Beginning Throwing class at A!A and using the ceramics studio for a year, with all the mess that came magically, now every morning I’m having coffee with my own coffee cups.”
