My husband , Les and I have lived in the Tri Cities area of Washington since 2011. We previously spent 7 years in Idaho Falls, Idaho. I grew up in West Virginia and my husband is originally from South Dakota. We love to travel and have 11 states left to see. I love baseball and spend most of my time in the summer watching the Tri Cities Dust Devils play. They are a short season A team affiliated with the San Diego Padres. I also like to garden, do needlepoint and cross stitch. Two cats and a kitten also reside with us.
