I enjoy daily walks with my Labrador Retriever. I am a voracious reader. I love to travel. I have been to all fifty states and about forty countries. I study Spanish for fun and speak it at an intermediate level. I write stories and books. I am currently revising a novel. I like the outdoors, photography, nature viewing, camping. I play the guitar and like to sing. I am a retired elementary school teacher, school counselor & English professor.
