I'm very eccentric and eclectic; extremely well world traveled, intelligent, closet lamp work(glass beads)glass fusing/slumping, glass fusing jewelry, stained glass, mosaics, oil, water color and pastel artist; Oregon wine collector, gastronomy, photographer, balcony container gardener; herbs, vegetables, orchids, begonias, peonies and gardenias. I have been playing classical, show tunes, Celtic harp for nearly five years. I have found that harp is very surreal and almost fairy like. I now want to learn to play cello, because it is haunting, soul searching and literally gets into the deepest cresses of your mind. I am a recluse. A very proud mom of two beautiful grown daughters, one handsome grown son, an adopted ten year old daughter; and so far, have five amazing grandsons by my daughters. My son hasn't started a family yet. Hopefully, he will have daughters! I'm retired now and not by choice, but due to health issues. I've experience life to the fullest and I am very hard to be fooled. I can read people very well. I live with my man friend, his ten year old daughter (whom I have adopted) his eighty-two year old father and our year and a half old female Boston Terrier name Tootsie. Tootsie has a fetish with stealing underwear from the laundry hamper and wearing them. Currently, I am writing a heirloom cookbook to pass down to my family. My wish is to have it completed within a year. My wish in life is to live in Italy as a home base and live the remaining days of my life traveling through Europe.
