About me

Gender Female
Location Iowa, United States
Introduction I am a baby boomer who has read for as long as I can remember. I get itchy when I don't have a book I'm enjoying! My three children are grown and live in different states...and I wish they lived closer, but love that they are strong, independent people. My husband and I are adapting to the empty nest and since we moved to Maryland in fall 2012 for my husband's job we are enjoying exploring a new area.
