Outside of Work

I began painting late in life, and while I have sold several works it is more a hobby than vocation.  I am a quilter which allows me to express my creativity in a different way than painting.  

I like to read and have a varied interest in history, travel and mysteries.  I like whimsy in art and books.  

Playing poker is a social activity for me and while I do love a win, I like the people I meet and play with almost as much. 

I walk, belong to the Berthoud Rec Center, and last year paraglided off the mountain in Glenwood Springs with my grandson.  I am a scuba diver with more than 100 dives in ocean waters.
