About Me

CURRENT MISSION

seize the day. be kind. live gratefully.

ABOUT ME

I am fifty five years old, happily married almost 30 years, mother of four wonderful children, grandmother to one beautiful little girl. We live on a small farm, with a few cows and seven dogs. I like to walk, hike and backpack. I play competitive tennis, mostly as a doubles player. I like to cook, read and capture memories through photography. I am the commissioner of a ladies only fantasy football league. I work part time as a pharmacist.
