Hi Everyone  

 I'm new here.  I'm Karen from Sharon,PA.  I'm a published author of "What's for Dinner from Karen's Kitchen" I'm starting a new series childrens book of stories about my 5 grandchildren who are the joy of my life. I'm a stay at home grandmother, I had to quit my job to take care of my ailing parents , then I was diagnosed with a rare condition called acromegaly that causes brain tumors on the pituritary gland. To make a long story short-if you get this as a child its called Gigantism, if you get it as an adult its called acromegaly.Your growth hormone is overactive. I had a large brain tumor removed in 1998. I've just been working at home since,sewing, machine embroidery, I've developed and published a 3D sleeping bag pattern, and also my books.

Dec. 8, 2007 at 9:31 PM Hi Annie, No both of my parents passed away my dad 5 years ago and my mom 2 years ago on Christmas Day. I still miss them both terribly.  I guess that 's why I try to keep so busy.   I love this website there are so many caring people like you on here.
