Shirley's Story
Life
My Spouse
Don is a Presbyterian minister. We have now been in Mission, Texas for 22+ years. This is as much a surprise to me as it is to anyone. This year, I retired. I decided it was time to graduate. Don will not retire for several more years. "Old preachers don't retire, they just go out to pastor."
My Pets
We still have only one cat, Cole. He is going on 10 years old now.
My Kids
My daughter, Patricia, is married. She lives with her husband, Cesar, in Round Rock now. Tricia and Cesar have a son, Cameron, who is a going to be 8 years old in June; and a daughter, Corianne, who is now a three year old princess.
My son, Landon, is still in Round Rock He is married and has four daughters. Kati (13) and Tori(9) joined our family when Landon married Nolana 8 years ago. They have two daughters, Joli (6) and Mandi (4).
Both Cesar and Landon work for Dell....Expand for more
My Job
I retired from Mission Consolidated ISD on December 31, 2007. I had a great career, and as Don says, served in my time. Although the State of Texas only recognizes 33 years of teaching experience, I have actually been teaching since 1967. That's a lot of students. The last ten years, I was teaching all the teachers in Mission how to use technology... So, yes, I am still an Alpha Geek.
My Interests
Most of my hobbies are directed to support church activities. I have been working on a series of Chrismons for the new Christmas tree. I sing in the choir. Usually, I get drafted to create the sets for the children's plays. Making jewelry and weaving beads are my current choices for mindless activity. And, collecting stories of my grandchildren! They are keeping us well supplied. I've decided to put all the stories into a book, "Life as a Sermon Illustration."
