I became a great grandmother on May 25, 2006. I love to indulge myself in creative endeavors. I paint, write, knit, quilt, make fabric collages, do bead work, and read, read, read. My favorite author is Annie Prouxl. I have a Poodle/Bichon mix named Freddie. He's been my loving companion for eight years. I live in northern California's wine country, but I was born and raised in San Francisco. My daughter lives in Sonoma, and my son lives in Tetonia, Idaho.
