CURRENT MISSION

To meet wonderful people!

ABOUT ME

I advocate for abused and neglected children as a CASA, and I enjoy reading, studying and hiking. My husband Carl is an excellent cook.

Interests

Family and friends, getting to know people, traveling, writing, conversation, nonfiction and poetry, museums, Kandinsky, making the most of living with cacti, javelinas and birds.

I am married, with children and grandchildren (not living with me), and I have two cats.

We offer a queen size bed in a private bedroom. You will be able to get a good night's sleep!
