I am a kind & caring person. I am also passionate & inquisitive, always wanting to learn new things. My hobbies are reading, collecting rocks, learning how to watercolor paint. I am recently widowed & am taking a sabbatical from work. When I am working, I am a pediatric nurse manager. I spend my free time hiking in the mountains, playing board games with friends, playing with my three dogs, reading, painting, collecting rocks & feathers, visiting my son in Chicago, visiting friends in Arizona, taking care of my house plants, volunteering at a local animal shelter, & visiting hot springs.
