I've been married to the same great guy for 27 years now. We never had any children, but we have two cats, Otis & Milo. They are litter-mates, half Abyssinian/half tabby, and are my "baby boys"!:)
I love to cook, and am an AVID recipe collector. I probably have more cookbooks than I'd like to admit, but I'm always on the look-out for something new and different to try.
I also enjoy gardening and riding my bicycle during the summer months. Nothing like fresh tomatoes, peppers and herbs, straight out of the garden!:)
