I live with Edgar and Madison the Corgis, Milo the tabby(BRIDGE 11/16/07), Sassy and Muffin the cats,

Shakes the Dwarf Lop(bridge 2/2009) and three parakeets that keep changing names.

Edgar is the love of my life and brings so much joy to daily

living. We go to meetups and have a great time. Maddie has

just joined us and is a best friend to Edgar. I also make

bead/semiprecious stone jewelry as a hobby as well as

artwork. As I have gotten older I have had to put aside some

of my other loves, backpacking, mountain biking, sea kayaking and the like due to cancer. But one takes life day by day and there is still a lot out there to experience. I am having absolutely too much fun with my new Nikon D80 and a Tamron 28-75mm and 70-300mm lens. Had no idea I could take the kind of pictures this camera provides to an absolute amateur. I have also started djembe and conga drumming for fun and drum circles.
