Hello!
My name is Julia, I'm 60 years old, live with my husband, and two Siamese cats. I believe in the Oxford comma. I've been working at Powell's Bookstore here in Portland for 23 years. Truth be told, I've been there so long because it's a union job with good benefits.
Nature, animals, swimming, cooking, reading, hiking, good conversation, learning new things, making art, all fulfill me.

If you have any, I would love postcards of animals, art, someplace you love by where you live, color! A postcard you love, anything will be welcome. Don't be shy, I have a dark sense of humor but love beauty also. Handmade welcome.

I only speak English fluently, with a few words and phrases in Spanish, Polish (my dad's parents immigrated from there), and words in botanical Latin.

I joined Postcrossing because I love getting mail, sending mail, and I have a great curiosity about other people. What makes you happy? What are you doing today? What's your favorite food? Are you a cat person, dog person, or any animal will do? Do you have a philosophy of life? How do you take care of yourself when you're feeling down? How did you meet your partner (if you have one)? Questions roll out of me all day long so don't let this list limit you!

Thank you, with love.
