A lover of old things, I can often be found reading about history, and if I'm not reading, then I'm working on my 1905 craftsman bungalow, which is slowly starting to look beautiful, or my 1955 Dodge Pickup that is in desperate need of restoration. I also love a good hike, as do my three large dogs, and my wonderful husband. I am also obsessed with children's books, so please ask away, I can chat about kids books for hours. Some of my favorites include Harry Potter (of course) and Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.
