I am also very allergic to scented items, so please do not ever send me anything that is scented.

I am recently married, female to female. We have been together for 22 years.

Favorite music: Mostly I like folk music and old classics, but anything pretty suits me.

I also like to travel, mostly within the US. I have been to most of the Continental states, Canada, Mexico and the US Virgin Islands. Someday I would like to go to Alaska, Holland and Ireland.

I love most animals, especially tortoises, cats, frogs and dragonflies.

My favorite birds are meadowlarks, red-winged blackbirds, great blue herons, red-tailed hawks, barn swallows, and owls of any kind.

I collect Pinocchio figurines, squashed pennies, small 3-D puzzles, miniature figurines and Wade animals.

I love amigurumi.
