I am married and have three grown children and one grandson. I enjoy gardening, reading, genealogy and volunteering in the community. My top choice for pleasure reading is science fiction. I have recently written a sci-fi novel and it is in the editing process. I love to watch the wildlife around my home and have a cat who thinks she is queen of the world. I spent a couple of years in France decades ago and would love to reconnect with the language, the people and the culture.
