I am a former nurse. I have been married for 41 years and have one adult daughter who is an aerospace engineer in Florida. I have a Golden Retriever puppy named Findlay and a black cat named Bennie. I love gardening, reading, cross-stitching, quilting, doing wool applique, and doing embroidery work. I love fountain pens and stationery and writing letters and postcards. I enjoy collecting hedgehog items and have a large collection which I started in Germany. I live in the country on 20 acres shared by deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, possums, and lots of different birds. I am a beekeeper and have 2 hives. I would enjoy postcards with scenes of your city or country, animals (especially hedgehogs or sheep), bees, flowers, handwork, German hedgehog figures Mecki and Micki.
