I have been traveling all my life. As the daughter of a career airman, my family moved many times. Then in my career as a pastor in the United Methodist Church, I served churches in various communities in Iowa.I started collecting turtles with a plaque that read "There's something tranquil about the turtle. It's her unhurried travels in a world that knows just haste." Like the turtle I've carried my home on my back. Thus also my family has expanded over the years. MZZZ Tillie, the Turtle Lady, has opened many doors for me.
