Hobbies
I have a love for gardening, ducks and flowers. Every year we grow an extensive garden with a variety of flowers, fruits and vegetables. My love for flowers goes back to my college years when I began arranging flowers for the front desk area of the resort I was working in. This continued into event set-ups like weddings and private parties at this same resort. I have created many arrangements and even made corsages! I enjoy interior and exterior design with seasonal decorations and flowers. I also love ducks, and hatch new ducklings each spring. I enjoy feeding the birds on my property and watching them nest. Central Oregon is a beautiful place to live and enjoy the outdoors.
