I love to write, read, garden, take random road trips as well as longer well-planned ones... and be with my cats, family and friends. You can generally find me visiting historic homes and landmarks, attending seasonal events, listening to scores from various soundtrack and storytelling. My personal library is a direct result of my travels and love of learning. I enjoy stoicism, taoism... I work full-time which requires weekly road trips throughout the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic State in the USA. My house was built in 1839 and I think of myself as 'lady of the manor." My house is full of whimsy.
