I am a crafty person. I am a troubleshooter.
I have to be creating/building/solving something,
whether it is in the kitchen, out in the garden, or on the computer!
I enjoy the outdoors, traveling and spending time with my family at the cabin.
Oh, and my fur-children Ollie McPeterson and Sampson the Meatball, they are my absolute favorite!
