I live outside of a small town, Middlebury, in the state of Indiana in the United States. I enjoy mysteries and puzzles of any type. I like listening to many different types of music including rock and roll, pop, Christian rock, and country. I enjoy traveling and seeing new sights and places.

When I was in college my boyfriend and I did a lot of hitchhiking to different places in the USA. It was a very interesting experience. I am retired from the American Red Cross.

I love trees, dragonflies, peacocks, owls, and hot air balloons. I enjoy visiting botanical gardens, the seashore, and lighthouses. I also studied cartography (map making) and enjoy seeing maps of different countries.

I believe that everyone has a unique place in this world and especially enjoy meeting and talking with people who do not fit into a specific mold.

I have been told that I am someone people do not forget. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not.

One saying I like is
"What we see depends mainly on what we look for."

I recently came across a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.
"“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” How true this is.

I have collected postcards since I was young and would enjoy any kind of postcard you would like to send me. If you happen to have a Red Cross postcard from your country, that would be great.

I hope that 2024 is a wonderful year for you. Prayers for your health and safety in these unusual times. Prayers for world peace and love for all mankind.
