| Introduction | Mom to an 20-yr-old. After 10 years of homeschool/unschooling adventure she's now working her magic in college. Following a 15 year stint in the corporate sales world, I've spent the last 11 years as an online bookseller with my pup Chewy (Chewybooks on Amazon, Chewyboo on ebay), previous to that I managed a bachelors degree from a radical college, built a small greenhouse 2 years ago and 500 gallon rain barrel system last year. |
| Interests | History, books (lots of books), genealogy, gardening (herbs, veggies, vintage flowers), green living, homeschooling (actually unschooling), dogs, cats, turtle rescue, Halloween and other pagan holidays, politics (Dems of course), aquariums (salt and fresh), any beach next to the Gulf of Mexico, the wonderful city of New Orleans, music (still have all my vinyl), and Renaissance Festivals (huzzah to Shakopee Minnesota festival) |
