I enjoy people and animals and love sharing our ranch. I taught horseback riding for many years and enjoy giving carriage rides. My favorite past time is enjoying our 20 grandchildren. 24 great grandchildren, and our many adopted grandchildren. My husband and i enjoy traveling the world, horseback riding, snorkeling, kayaking, golfing, and whatever our children are interested in. I am an energetic and fun host that loves sharing our beautiful ranch. Family reunions are my favorite.
