Well, first of all, I am Echo Echo's sister, a longtime chef on Zaar. We live in Maine and just love it. My husband & I live in a coastal town where he fishes virtually every day of the fishing season after his workday. We each have our individual work as psychologists, and we also have recently begun our own little real estate investment business, Kingfisher Properties, named after the cove on which we live. Instead of children we have cats - a common love, judging from the names and bios of other chefs. Presently, only one: Kiri, but as mourning for our wondercat, Pu, completes, we begin to dream of kittens. Our other dream very much in process is the treehouse DH is building on our property.
1/17/08 New arrivals: two kittens - a tiny gray and white kitten we named Miette (French for a small, sweet thing) and a part Maine coon longhair tiger we named Babette - a wild thing, makes my heart sing.
