THE BASICS

Hiya there, my name's Betsy Dobbs-Smith, and welcome to my homepage.  Originally, I came from a small riverside town named LaGrange MO.  You could see the Mississippi River from my front porch.  Currently, we reside outside Alexis, IL with 10 cows, 2 marmots, a cat, and a battalion of chipmunks.  I've been married for three wonderful years going on eighty.  Feel free to e-mail me and tell me what you think...

MY FAMILY

I have three big brothers that always look out for me, Tom, Bob, and Ted.  I'm lucky to be the baby of the family, they don't pick on me too much.  My father's name is Boyce Thomas Dobbs and he was born in Arkansas on September 24, 1919.  My mother, Carolyn Hastings-Dobbs was born in Quincy IL on April 4, 1947.  I have 14 nieces and nephews so far ranging from age 30-2.  Chad, Kim, Kyle, Randy, Mandy, Brant, Dalton, Dustin, Jesse, Isaac, Elisha, Jonathan, Gabrielle, and Lily.  There's another one on the way!  He/She will make an appearance sometime in December.
