About Me

Thank you to all the people on swap bot who have made this a fun experience.

I live in a rural area in upstate NY. It's on one of the Finger Lakes and is a beautiful place. I'm married to a good man and have three grown children and two grand children 5 and 3 year olds. After teaching middle school students for thirty four years I have retired. One thing about being a teacher is you are never bored. I am looking forward to new adventures.

Favorite Music

I like country. Irish, soft rock, 50's . My favorites are Mary Chapin Carpenter, Trisha Yearwood, Celtic Woman, Sugarland,James Blunt.Melissa Etheridge, Patsy Cline. Josh Groban, Josh Gracin, Joni Mitchell,

Favorite Books

I read a lot and often trade with my mom who reads a book almost every day. I enjoy Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele, Fannie Flagg,Ben Mikaelson, Nicholas Sparks and Sark.When I left teaching I took many of my books with me so I am reading all the young adult books I didn't have time for before. I like fiction that has a happier twist to it but will read most anything.

Favorite Movies

I'm not a big movie watcher but when I do watch I like to be entertained rather than scared. I liked Sex in the City, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Phantom of the Opera, Beaches, Something Borrowed. .

Favorite Television

My favorite tv show is the Antique Road Show. I love seeing the objects and what if anything they are worth. I also like the home and garden show that shows people buying houses or fixing them up. I like the reruns of Sex in the cIty, Seinfeld, The Big bang, The Seventies show.

Favorite Crafts

Right now I am into altered books which is a very bad craft for people who are already savers. You think you might be able to use anything. I like scrap booking, jewelry making orgami, rubber stamping. polymer clay,(fimo,sculpey)crocheting, card making. I like the idea of quilting even though I haven't made one yet.

enter title...

I enjoy coffee and teas. I love chocolate and dark, milk, mixed with peanut butter or nuts all work for me. I like scented soaps and lotions. I like most kinds of candy.Some other things I like are gardening,vintage linens, gnomes, cards, jewelry, stickers. pens, old photos from the fifties and earlier, folk art, handmade things, postcards,(I especially am looking for Fire Island postcards for my brother) calligraphy pens,costume jewelry or unusual jewelry,pottery. My favorite colors are red, yellow, purple, blue. I like soccer and baseball. I like the spring, summer and fall but am not so keen about winter in upstate NY. I don't like skulls, goth stuff. porn.
