About me

Location Bend, OR
Interests Wandering aimlessly through a new city, stumbling onto great things, driving back roads looking for interesting photos, digging through thrift stores, watching really amazing dance performances, listening to live music, scrapbooking, collage, painting, writing short stories, poetry and memoir, going on walks with my dogs, cuddling and laughing with my kids, dancing, architecture and design, going to movies. Finding amazingly fresh food to eat, spending time with my horses, walking in the wind, beaches that have wind and long grass, riding my bicycle, reading.
Favorite Movies Cinema Paradiso, Salaam Bombay, Monsoon Wedding, Spanglish, Bridget Jones Diary, Almost Famous, Central Station, Amelie, 300 Blows, the original Breathless, La Vie En Rose, Knocked Up and all kinds of broad humor movies, especially anything with Will Ferrell in it except Bewitched.
