Hi, I'm Sherri Smith and live in Decatur, Illinois. I'm new to blogging and websites. Both are still works in progress! I love to read, write, shoot pool, and spend time with my family. I have a wonderful husband, Steve, two dogs, Big Hoss and Little Joe, and 22 grandkids. I volunteer three days a week in a first grade class, follow my granddaughter's volleyball team, take another one to tumbling lessons, and four more to Junior Pool. Oh yeah, I also shoot pool on two teams and am a Junior Girl Scout Leader. I know, I'm busy, but I'm hanging in there!
I write books! I have had three published. A poetry book that is no longer available, and two novels. My novels are the first two books of a trilogy. Bitter Water and Troubled Water, with Tranquil Water in the works to finish it up.
I've been blessed to have a wonderful husband and family. Love my kids, love my grandkids, and love my 1st graders! I do have a great grandchild on the way. I know, I can hardly believe that one either!!
I also love to travel. I was fortunate to be able to visit Europe while our son was stationed in Germany. I saw many wonderful sites and it's an experience I will never forget. So beautiful!
I've become adventuresome as I get older. I took to heart the song by Tim McGraw "Live Like You Were Dying". I have done things I never would have dreamed of doing when I was younger! Some of those things are:
Pet a Shark
Snorkel in the ocean
Went to the top of the Eiffel Tower
Had a glass of wine while cruising on the Rhine
Went on 2 cruises
Written and Published three books
Seen the Swiss Alps
Visited a castle or two in Germany
Wrote a song
I still have a bucket list. I hope to be able to complete this list as I continue to stay healthy and alert. Here is my Bucket List
Go to Hawaii
Write more books
See the Cubs in the World Series (I know, that's a long shot...lol)
More later as I continue this new journey of blogging and creating a website!
