I spend a lot of time outdoors, mostly hiking around the local beaches and mountains. It's the start of winter and the days are getting shorter...time for an indoor hobby like writing a new pen pal. I enjoy gardening and growing veggies and herbs to cook with. I have one adorable cat and I live with my husband in a small coastal town. One day in the distant future, I hope to write a book and having a pen pal is a fun and motivating way to start writing more frequently.
