I was raised in Roseau, MN with two older siblings. In 1985 I married my high school sweetheart Toby Lommen. We have 4 grown kids and have become a family of 16! When not spending time with Toby, my favorite thing to do is spend time with our kids and 7 grandkids. I enjoy reading, sketching, and watercolor painting, and also take a writing class! Fall is my favorite season. :)
