Location Stockton, Iowa, United States
Introduction I teach 7th grade world geography and live on a farm with my husband. I love growing things, canning, weeding (very Zen, you know), spending time outdoors. A good first day of any vacation is getting a box of books from the library. A good night in is making a good meal with my husband and then watching a movie or playing cribbage (or dominoes or backgammon). Or reading in my study with the classical station on, a warm cat on my lap and a glass of wine near at hand. And, here is the kicker, I am a two-time Jeopardy champion (January 2010)
Interests Gardening, reading, knitting, running, kayaking, hiking, making and decorating cakes, learning new things
Favorite Movies Cary Grant screwball comedies, Raiders of the Lost Ark (the first one), British dark comedies
Favorite Music Celtic, classical, bluegrass, soundtracks, musicals, 70s (not disco)
