I am a 51 year old Family and Consumer Sciences Educator with Montana State University Extension. I have 2 grown sons ages 23 and 19 and a wonderful husband of 27 years. Originally from Texas (lived there most of my life ) we now make our home in the beautiful mountains of Thompson Falls, Montana. Having grown up on a farm, I'm happy to be living once again in the country!

When not working, I love to spend time with my family, bake, research recipes,crochet and sew.

I love to send and receive mail and have "penpaled" off and on since 8th grade. That being said, if you are interested in a private swap, PM me. ...it may work out depending on how busy things are or how much money I have at the time! Also, if your interests are similar to mine and you feel like we have a lot in common, I am open to new penpals.

I Love Lucy is my all time favorite. I also love Frasier, Food Network shows and The Office. To be honest though, I rarely watch TV!

Green followed closely by soft pink. I also love gray and yellow together.

I love pastel colors and always prefer them to bold colors. My decorating style is French Country Cottage or flea market vintage. I love to decorate with styles similar to the ones found in the store Anthropologie.

I love to sew! I also love to make cards, crochet, bake and can/preserve fresh fruits and vegetables.
