. . yes, there are bears, moose, eagles and whales. The wildlife up here can get right in your face, just remember to look both ways when you're out and about, there really could be a bear in your front yard!

Fast forward, in 2014 moved to Colorado to be nearer to family and them moved again in 2019 on a new adventure that took me to North Carolina. I believe I have some gypsy blood in me somewhere - LOL!

As for my favorite pastimes, I enjoy making things with my hands. I've added quit a few hobbies to my repertoire: illustration, wire work, jewelry construction, carving, painting, gardening, collecting and genealogy. Not everything is a constant, each venue takes it's turn in the limelight.

I do have several Internet sights, I write poetry and other tidbits on Wordpress, sell my jewelry and paracord bracelets on Etsy, belong to Facebook and am a furious pinner on Pinterest:) Always on the lookout for something interesting and artistic.

My tastes, hmmmmm, I love graffiti art, organic merchandise, bright colors, just about anything Italian, the Arts & Crafts movement and food. What kind of food, Mexican and Italian are my faves, but I'll stop the car at the smell of some good BBQ - LOL! Enjoy experimenting in the kitchen with different techniques or a new recipe that catches my eye.
