I'm a retired newspaper reporter who still writes a travel column for the paper. I spend my time gardening in my small garden which seems large when I look at the weeds. I enjoy reading mysteries and traveling.I have a married sister, a married niece and a nephew. My mother is 97 and is still at home with some help from me.I've traveled all over the US escept for Alaska and have visited a few other countries. Right now my hobby is recovering from rotator cuff surgery and typing with one finger.
