Description

I am writing the next chapter in my book of life. I am a mother, academic, culinarian, and crafter. I live in harmony with nature and people which is the secret to longevity. I love to cook, eat, garden, read, spin fiber, crochet, and learn (utube for techniques and documentaries.) I coached my kids in football, baseball, volleyball, and cheer. I like to bike ride, hike, swim, and fish. Adults do not have to be asked, do not ask for unnecessary help, and do not leave the task unfinished. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to continue this conversation.

I am able to cook, clean, paint, minor household repairs, garden, trim trees, mow, other general outdoor work, and hang out with kids of all ages.

What else ...

I am learning about fiber and how to spin yarn for the projects that are crocheted. I'm becoming a mycologist because of the endless benefits we reap from fungi: food, medicine, dyes, decoration, and other uses about which I do not know.
