I’m at a transitional stage in life. My children have all grown and I am nearing retirement and traveling soon. I love a balance of crowds and solitude. Nature is my happy place. Gardening, festivals, and travel are some of my favorite things to do in spring and summer. Autumn is my favorite season!! The cool, crisp air and vibrant colors are perfect weather for hot tea and a good book in the garden! I’ve just begun learning German, guitar, calligraphy and knitting and I’m a complete novice at all ! I look forward to meeting pen pals world wide to share ideas, culture and passions with!! :)
