Joyfully retired with my female partner of many many years and our beloved standard poodle. Love my slow mornings with a cup of coffee. Very active with quilting group, card playing group, mah jong group, and book group. Related to my quilting activity, I own and then became trained to service, repair, restore Singer Featherweights. Very fun! Small but might little succulent and cactus garden which stimulated an interest in researching these amazing plants. I do love to read and learn!
