Not necessarily in this order…
I am... mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, friend, writer, patriot, Christian, designer, inventor, singer, artist and 'information junkie'...
I love... my family, words, organizing things, the privilege of giving, talking with my husband and kids, reading a good book, God, recipes, ideas, America, writing, the ocean, a warm fire, my husband's laugh, the wind, thinking, very old photographs, mountains, our dog, research, my laptop, Rock and Roll, our turtles, snow, historic houses, my morning coffee, singing, big comfy sweaters, growing things, classic literature, tradition, murder mysteries, genealogy, watching my children sleep, history, the Internet, watching a good movie at home, talking to myself...
I hate... crowds, intolerance, hypocrisy, envy, injustice, traffic, snobs, prejudice, misspelled words, small spaces, sad movies and hot weather
