We are a married couple living in a bucolic setting. We have a german shepherd dog and two cats.
I'm self employed, own a sewing and upholstery business that operates out of the lower level of my house. My husband is a retired GM worker.

Interests

Cooking just about anything from curries to Belgium beef stew, vegan, middle east, you name it.
Gardening is a pleasure for me. I love to see and eat the fruits of my labor....
As for music I'm all over the map from early music to Phillip Glass. My husband has great taste that tends toward blues and a cultivated list of various music genres.
