Certification

CPR training and Certified Nurses Assistant

Sewing, Piano,Hiking

Sewing has been one of my passions for many years. I enjoy making blankets, for family members, quilting and other small projects as I am inspired. I am an amateur at playing the piano but enjoy the challenge of learning different techniques and the affect that comes from music. I used to do a lot of hiking with my late husband in the rocky mountains of Colorado, where we hiked, camped, fly fished and hunted together. I love the outdoors and the serenity it offers.
