I spend a lot of time with work. But when home, I enjoy reading (historical fiction), playing piano, puttering in my gardens, riding my motorcycle with my little dog (she is my best companion). We also hike, camp, kayak. I am adopted so have spent years discovering birth family genealogy which has been fascinating. I am a Board member and participant in our local theatre. I follow Iowa State sports and am a member of the Iowa State Alumni Marching Band.
