We moved into our 1st home in the fall of 2005, and have been working on clearing the grounds and removing all the stumps and invasive plants that were in our badly overgrown yard. We have been having great success and are ready to start our 1st veggie garden this season. Gardening gives me great joy.

I really enjoy running, it gives me sanity. My next race is a 10 miler.

I belong to a food co-op and CSA, and am trying to cut all ties with industrial foods and supermarkets. Local food is where it’s at!

I try to bake my own breads, but they are usually average, I am working on achieving greatness. Good French bread is an art form.
