ABOUT ME

I am easy going and love to be around funny people. I love to eat so I know how to cook. Can you teach me your favorite dish? The only time I use "hate" in my vocabulary is in association with flossing and war. I enjoy growing things: herbs, flowers, fruit. I knit, crochet, and make art and crafts and I play tennis whenever I can (almost every day weather permitting)

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes not getting what you want can be a wonderful streak of luck!

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others can't keep it from themselves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling in Tibet, riding on top of a bus in Nepal, planted a tree from seed one year ago, it is bearing fruit already (Papaya), winning a national tennis tournament.
Swinging on the rope of death in Amazonian. Very scary!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you words in foreign languages, how to play tennis, or cook German food.

Without fully understanding a people's culture, conflict will eventually result.
