I am retired and I love to play in the dirt. I do a lot of gardening and am involved in several organizations involving gardening, nature, and the outdoors . I love the nature and I love warm weather. No one can understand why I don't move south but I have a great network of friends up here and don't want to lose that.I grow a lot of my own food and I love to cook! Last year I biked about 3300 miles and I love the Oak Openings area. I have several pets and cannot imagine a life without my animals.I am retired but while employed I entered a field that had few women and was known as a trailblazer. I am partial to country music but also like classic rock. I cannot sing but I do love music..
