I was born in a large California city but now live in a small California mountain town. It has taken actually still is taking time to get used to it. I now try to grow my own vegetables and raise chickens. I love most kinds of music except country. I get get into it. I taught myself to crochet and I do a little embroidery. I love collecting old or interesting books but still haven't read them all. I have two grown children and my husband still works full time so it's mostly me and the animals. I have one dog and several feral cats I care for.
