Interests
Meeting new people, exploring, LEARNiNG & sharing
Travel, outdoor activities (walk, bike, hike, fish)
I have had the opportunity to visit countries in Europe, Asia, Middle East, South America, and the Caribbean Islands. Seeking out the family owned places, where the locals go, and talking, sharing, laughing with people i meet. It truly is, "a small world". Since moving back to Idaho, the opportunity to "just be outdoors" and enjoy the seasons is like watching a baby learn something new. My son is a fly fishing guide and has made sure that I fully embrace the great Idaho pastime!!And, I can't leave without sharing that the greatest gift to my life has been my Grandtwins. I've always clung to that "Auntie Made" idea that one needs to "live, live, live" let's enjoy the banquet!
