I'm a Southern California native, married, mother of two and grandmother of three. Have two cats who don't get along at all. I am retired! I just retired and so far I love it. I enjoy writing pen pals, cooking, reading, making cards and about anything else I am doing. If you are interested in a pen pal please contact me for my address. I enjoy anything to do with Christmas. I plan to make at least one gift for every family member this year. They will be primarily counted cross stitch bookmarks and towels.

classical = actually not much of a music fan so you won't see me in any music swaps. i do play in a church handbell choir and while I have no talent I do enjoy it.
