I'm a friendly, but introverted, empty nester who's learning to enjoy the quiet that comes with an empty home. Recently I discovered the world of solo board gaming and love spending an afternoon with a good game. I Iove cooking, reading, and being outdoors. Walks with my dogs and cuddling up with my ginger cat and a good book are favorite places to be. On weekends from May through November I spend my time at the farmer's markets buying beautiful local produce. Being creative has always been a part of my life, whether it's playing with clay or making jewelry.
