More about me: The best way to tell you who I am is to tell you what brings me joy…Taking care of my little granddaughter ~ trying to watch the world through her eyes and help her in her desire to discover and learn. Being outdoors ~ the more natural the better. I love to camp, hike, and observe what Nature presents to me. I love gardening ~ we have an annual Garden Party at my home. Teaching ~ I tutor English to foreign business people and to middle school students. Connecting with people ~ I generally have foreign students living in my home, one or two at a time. I like hearing their perspective on things. Dinner time is conversation time. I love being creative ~ writing, photography, pottery, Japanese Tea Ceremony.
