Hello from Bonnie Himes!

Who I Am: I am a wife, a mom of 3 beautiful girls, some awesome grand kids, and some precious great grand kids who all have my heart.  I live in central Alabama with my hubby and our sweet Labrador, Obie.  My great grands keep me going and I love every minute of it.  I always tell my girls, if I had known grands (and now great grands) were going to be this much fun, I would have had them first!  

I have had the blessing to be able to travel extensively and have touched every continent except Antarctica.  I have been blessed to see some amazing sights and meet some incredible people.  

What do I do in my spare time? I love to quilt.  Although I don't have much time to devote to it, quilting is my relaxation go to.  Seeing the pattern come together is very satisfying. I am also an avid cook. One of my small hobbies is I have tried to collect "local, authentic" cookbooks from the many places we have traveled to.

Biggest Travel Tip: Pack your patience and your smile. They will take you a long way when the day is long.

What is my favorite season? Spring.  I love spring.  Everything is waking up from winter and growing.  It's a time of renewal. Flowers are blooming and new life is being born.

If my pet could talk, what would he say about me? “Mom never feeds me enough. I like to eat. But I love her anyway!”

What makes me AWESOME? I love my family. I love what I do. I don't show it a lot, but I am passionate about the people in my life and the things that are important to me.  I love big.  I will fight to the end to do the very best for my family, friends, and clients.
