I was born in a commune in Normandy, France. I've always loved all things French. My hobbies include movies, hiking, gardening, board games, reminiscing over other people's lives...where they've been, what they did. I suppose I am just interested in people. I want to connect with people I have little chance of ever meeting in the U.S. I also love language and the similarities and differences. My Mother helped me become a pretty good cook! I work a lot but I am getting toward an age of retirement and my mind turns toward France..
