I am a retired biologist who loves to garden, cook, listen to music, audible books, and podcasts. I am also a lapidary artist (jewelry) and an astrologer who has studied and practiced for decades. I also was a counselor in social services for years helping people who needed to find a way to overcome obstacles and rejoin society again. I have two grown children and live on the west coast in the U.S.. I like to socialize and play cards with friends once or twice a week as I belong to a club in the town I live in for seniors to meet and get to know each other.
