Hi! I'm a single mom of two kids -- 17 and 14. During the COVID shutdowns in 2021, I started taking Japanese classes online through my local university. (I'd taken Japanese in high school about 30 years ago and lived in Japan for 6 months after high school.) I love gardening, hiking, biking, making treats for my kids and me... Lots of things! I'm a pretty busy person, but I will always make time for friends.
