middle age mother of 5 very happily married. I have a BFA in painting from Univ. of Kan. I continue taking classes because I love learning new things. I live in Olathe KS. I love children and animals,books, and I like to ride my bike. We have 4 cats. My favorite authors are: Barbara Hambly, Nicci French(yes, I know they are a married couple), Harlan Coben, The lady who wrote Sacrifice,( I can't remember her name right now), Jim Butcher,Anne Rice and so many more. It's very hard for me to pick out a favorite. We were talking about favorite movies and I love Across the Universe, and several others, frequency, Stir of Echos, and on and on. I love bead weaving and Painting and learning new techniques.
