I'm a friendly, outgoing person who has a gentle curiosity about life. Enjoy visiting new cities and towns and learning about the history of these places. I'm a writer of poetry and essays and have been published in the local paper several times.
I am also a lover of nature and especially the water.

I've been retired from teaching several years and belong to a few organizations which I enjoy. One is a singing group that entertains residents of nursing homes. It's a very fun and fulfilling experience! I'm a grandmother and enjoy being with my grandson weekly and I enjoy being with my family as often as they are available. I walk almost daily and take a dance aerobics class which I really love! Enjoy reading and sketching when time allows.
