I have a LOVE of reading and writing. I am a self-published author of a children's book, and am currently writing my first novel. I've done a lot of travel and lived overseas. Now im settled on a small homestead with my husband and seven children - some biological and some foster. I am learning violin, I love to garden, cook, and Im learning wood carving. I enjoy antiques and I have a small online shop. I also used to be an ER nurse. I love the lost art of letter writing and the deep friendships it allows for in our fast paced world. Im looking for a couple long term penpals.
