About me: Mom of 4 amazing young adults, plus 3 adorable Black Labs. Married for 26 adventure-filled years. New grandma to the most adorable boy ever (born March 2023).
I'm an attorney and adjunct law professor, (and am not happy with the recent U.S Supreme Court decisions!) I love to travel and have visited all 50 US states and 19 different countries. There is so much more to see in this world!
Other interests: Disney, New England Patriots, gardening, collecting National Park passport stamps, writing my pen-pals, listening to podcasts, supporting small businesses, reading, and fostering dogs through a local dog rescue.

I am obsessed with the Postcrossing 'travel mode" feature and have sent cards from Canada, Mexico, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, France, and Germany. (I also sent cards from Turks and Caicos in June of 2023, but none of them have arrived yet... oh my!)

I'm excited to receive your card! I like reading long messages and enjoy unique postage stamps. Always feel free to send me something you'd like to receive yourself, and please, never apologize for your choice of card. It's wonderful to meet someone new through Postcrossing!
