A mother of three grown children, I live with my husband Dave in the Pacific NW. I was raised in northwestern North Dakota on a farm that included both fields of gently rolling hills, and pastures of steep coulees or valleys. A retired RN, my favorite area of nursing was the operating room. My hobbies include reading, sewing, crocheting, knitting, gardening, cooking, baking goodies and bread, playing organ--and best of all, playing with our three darling grandchildren!
