About Martha
Hello! I'm Martha Wilson, 68 years young and loving life in my retirement. After 32 years as an elementary school teacher, I now spend my days gardening, volunteering at the local library, and of course, spoiling my five wonderful grandchildren. My husband Robert and I celebrated our 45th anniversary last June with a cruise to Alaska - a dream come true!
