Additional Information
Personal Interests: The aromatic smell of sweet prairie grass wafting in on the breeze can only be enjoyed best amidst the next exciting adventure. The great outdoors is a dear friend to me as I spend lengths of time vacationing at our Missouri ranch Hunting, Fishing, Hiking, Beach Combing, Biking, Kayaking, Horseback Riding, Rodeoing, Traveling, Sledding, Skiing, and even Dog Training. Such aromatic adventures often tend to give way to my love of cooking where I spend endless hours in the kitchen concocting some new recipe that will remind me in the delicatessen form of my adventures. Secure in our Texas home, daily familiarity of work and studies lend to reading and research as plans for organizing my next quest originate. By and by the research fuels my determination and prose flows forth. Peace and serenity rejuvenate my ambitious soul through quiet escapes nestled with a good book, treadling away with the spinning wheel, entwining at the loom, or tailoring. Idle hands make misery in my estimation. Therefore, my family travels to our various homes in different locations. I grew up in East Carolina Country where Pig Pickins and Pan fishing were the norm. This tobacco barn and cotton field country stitched my ethics for hard work and a lack of mediocrity. To this day most of my family resides along the Albemarle and Roanoke waters. Our permanent address is still my family home. We spend every Summer there going to the beach and antiquing.
