Enjoy reading in the winter and camping in the summer. I believe in family and friends.
Enjoy reading mysteries like who dun its when its cold. In the summer I love camping with friends and family. I have my own camper and have a circle of friends who keep me busy outside of the office. I have a fur baby boxer names Lola who is my constant companion and keeps me giggling.
