After my husband died a few years ago, I decided to make my home a safe place where people can come together to thrive and grow. I currently have four housemates.
I am looking forward to sharing my home and getting to know many Couchsurfers in the years to come!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We all have something of value to share with each other. I love having guests!
Staying in the home of a local instead of an isolated hotel makes the experience way more enriching.
Soon, I am going to start traveling around this floating ball of earth, and
I'm looking forward to staying with some of the many CS's I have hosted and connecting and sharing with new fellow humans as their guest!

Interests

I've been a stay at home Mom and Wife for over 30 years, and now I'm learning what it means to be single and have me time.
I love to work in my yard. I love to sit under the tree and read or write letters.

I often host a creative art, or board game nights with friends.

I love to create things. I work with fabric, paper, ceramics, wood, paint, etc.

My four housemates' interests also include online gaming, chess and other board games, opera, puzzles, NFL football, FIFA football, cooking, camping, hiking 14rs, skiing, and disc golf!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music. Although a friend was helping me with some work one day and I had the radio on and he said he didn't know I was into 90's Alternative Rock.

...so I guess that's my music, Alternative Rock. Although I like country and classical music as well. I love that Colorado has a great local music scene. We put out some really talented people here!

Colorado has also birthed some great food companies in the last decade! Like Chipotle, Mad Greens, Noodles and Company, Qudoba, SmashBurger, and the famous Casa Bonita!!

Books I have been into lately include a lot of biographies. I just finished Charlie Chaplin's, Todd Fischer's, and The Howard Brother's Autobiographies. And now I'm reading the Harry Potter series for fun!

I love movies! However after spending most of my time on my Kids and Husband, I used to prefer to read in my very limited free time. I missed most media of the 90's and a good bit of the 2000's So suggestions for a great movie are always welcome, I probably have not seen it, but I can make great popcorn!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My husband and I opened the first Cannabis dispensary in the state of Colorado. Working with other dispensary owners and stakeholders, we helped set the rules and regulations for the Cannabis industry, providing valuable input for how the process should look going forward.

Teach, Learn, Share

By default, after my Husband passed, I became our Beekeeper.
Learning how to foster these little creatures all by myself has been a challenge. I've always been enthusiastic about saving them, but not as enthusiastic about getting into a box of 80,000 or so of them!! So after 3 summers now, I can confidently say I am a Beekeeper!! If you come through Denver in the warm months, and you want to suit up and join me on a box inspection, I welcome that!!!

I love learning about other people.
I was raised only 60 miles from where I live in Denver. I have had very little exposure to other cultures. So for me, Couchsurfers are a wealth of information and I thoroughly enjoy listening to people talk about their home life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am clean and respectful. I love to help out. I can cook traditional American meals. And I love to have great conversations!
