I'm a published author who enjoys reading, writing, and traveling. My companion is an 11-year-old dog named Gracie Jean. I used to quilt, but no longer have the room. I have 2 grown children, 2 grown stepsons, and 10 grandchildren. I like jigsaw puzzles, a good book, really good tea, and board games. I like watching British TV, especially mysteries and cooking shows. Would love a pen pal from England. Fairly liberal in my views, and tolerant of others.
