Welcome To Mimi's Garden

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. Psalms 62:1

So Who's Mimi?

My photo
Kathy
United States
I have been married for 41 years to the man who is still the love of my life, Sandy. He retired in 2008. We love to travel together and spend as much time as life allows with our family. I love to decorate, entertain, cook and bake, garden, and paint. We have two children, a son and a daughter and three precious granddaughters. We are blessed to have a loving son-in-law, but we are saddened beyond description to have lost our beautiful daughter-in-law on December 23, 2010 following the emergency delivery of our newest granddaughter. In spite of our loss, I'm a blessed woman - my cup runneth over!
