Hobbies
I enjoy a variety of arts & craft projects, including embroidery, painting, and sewing clothing and quilts. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years, and in my younger days was known to sing in an amateur jazz/rock group or two. I'm a lover of theater, musicals, and operas. My greatest love, though, is for my three children, with whom I snuggle up to read every chance I get!
