Shelly Calvert
Bedford Co., United States
Married for 40 yrs to my high school sweet heart, we have two wonderful sons that have given us 5 glorious grandchildren, 2 grandsons and 3 granddaughters, in that order! I have a BS is ED, Sp ED, and taught sp.ed. resource middle school, 6th-8th graders, until chronic pain from a botched back surgery forced me to give up my career. I now live with severe chronic pain 24/7 and just a few months ago decided to pick up my crochet hook again after not touching it for at least 35 yrs! I believe it is helping me keep my mind off my severe pain on all but my very worse days!!!!
