A hearth and home author, mother of six, grandmother of seven, and married for thirty-five years to a man who may or may not be considered for sainthood (posthumously, of course), Ruth Logan Herne loves to be called "Ruthy " and refuses to hang with people who are too skinny or too uppity because it cramps her love of dogs, her Frappuccino habit and chocolate addiction (M&M's are just as good as Godiva and she'll fight to the death to defend her position), and uppity people just plain annoy her. She loves God, thinks the Holy Spirit is one righteous Dude and cannot believe Jesus was willing to do what he did, but thanks him for it daily.
