When I'm not in school, I enjoy  
Life is precious. When I'm not at school I’m happy spending time alone or with my family & friends. I love working in my garden, walking with Peter Murphy & Rosie, my two wonderful dogs, reading, cooking, and exploring new places. I especially enjoy traveling around the country in our camper, taking pictures of our beautiful national parks, blogging, discovering great places to eat, listening to live music, and meeting friendly people.
