I am a social worker who lives in the Pacific Northwest. I am interested in all kinds of topics/art/nature/gardening/herbal lore/ myth and ancient history. I have two grown sons, many friends, a dog and two cats. I live in a very rural area and love it here. My home is filled with books and I treasure them. I also make altered books and do book binding for one of a kind journals and scrap books. I write short stories and self publish them in hand bound volumes for my friends and family.
