“She was not quite what you would call refined.
She was not quite what you would call unrefined.
She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.” ~ Mark Twain~

Hmmm, I think the above says a lot. I am a teacher, an artist, a mother (two sons), a woman. I am always doing something (usually with my hands) and am never bored. I have purple streaks in my hair. I prefer walking to running, Yoga and Tai Chi to weight machines and sports. I am romantic but somewhat practical. I love to laugh, but not at others. I love puns and word-play. My favorite colors are Blue-violet and periwinkle, navy, jade, and violet. My favorite flowers are peonies, iris, daffodils, and double tulips. I deeply LOVE DARK CHOCOLATE, like French Roast coffee and Lapsang Souchang tea,. I am devoted to eating Fair Trade and local foods as much as possible, and I recycle regularly. I like to travel but have done very little traveling outside the US. I like to visit cities but now live in a rural area.
