Several years ago we moved from Oregon to be near our son and grandchildren in Florida. We live on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, or the Emerald Coast, as it is called here.

Besides many kinds of art, I like spending time with family and our rescue dog Sophie. I love animals, enjoy genealogy, reading, and container gardening. It is much too hot in the summer for me to garden outdoors so I like caring for my indoor garden in the living room bay window.

I don't need extras and don't give ratings based on them. I have gobs of papers and honestly, just don't need more.

To borrow the alphabetized format of a friend whose profile style I admire, these are some of the things I like. (This list is a work in progress.)
