Introduction	I'm enjoying retirement but always busy, reflective and talkative, curious about many things. I have seven grown children and six grandchildren and family is very important to me. I've always been a penny-pincher but my interest in doing things for myself is influenced by reading the Little House books and by working at a Living Farm set in the 1820's. There I learned to produce food and fabric from scratch and to rely on what was available.
Interests	Cooking, sewing and quilt making, faux graining boxes and furniture, saving money, collecting antiques and dolls,spinning, embroidery and lace-making, in fact any women's work, writing, photography, art, and not the least,reading. And now doll houses and rooms in various sizes.
Favorite movies	Cranford, Jane Eyre, Ladies #1 Detective Agency,DOWNTON ABBY!
Favorite music	White Linen, You Got A Friend, Sometimes, Anything by Paul Simon, Debussy's Afternoon of the faun.
Favorite books	The Little House books,Poetry of Emily Dickenson,

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

Because copper tastes like blood.
