I'm retired from the international freight forwarding and customs industry, am mother of four grown girls, and the grandmother of one active grandson. We're busy, involved in lots of stuff, and laugh a lot. I paint and create artworks in a variety of media, some of which I sell, and some I keep or choose to give away. I sew and quilt. I like to cook and to bake, and my two favourite hobbies are swimming and gardening.
