April Showers

My name is April Dawn because I was born in the wee hours of the morning one April day back in 1970 and my dad is clever. I am married to an auburn haired architect that is funny and very coordinated. We have four children. I live in the woods in a house that I like to call "The Big Long Baby Ruth".
