Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To get out of the country and see the world as inexpensively as possible since we are approaching retirment and a limited income.
ABOUT ME
Hmmm. I am outgoing and friendly. I strike up conversations with people in grocery store lines. I live a quiet life in a small town not far from Seattle. I am grandmother of five. I long to travel, in Europe particularly. My husband having retired we are now snowbirding and traveling the country in a 31 foot travel trailer.
PHILOSOPHY
Justice leads to peace. I am pretty much a pacifist, and I believe in environmentalism. We would all be better off if we didn't get so emotional and if we conceived of ourselves as citizens of the world instead of as citizens of a specific country. If you only life once, make it count. Live with no regrets.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None, really, except at friends' houses.
Interests
Well, I love gardening and reading. I am devouring books on the 1916 Irish Revolution and anything by John Grisham. I am a member of Sweet Adelines International and enjoy barbershop singing.I volunteer running a sing-a-long for seniors at a nearby assisted living facility. My favorite interest, though, is my darling, charming, and brilliant grandchildren! My husband's interest is RVing, and we have a trailer that we like to take out on the trail.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like all kinds of movies: comedies, romances, dramas, clean, not too racey! I love musicals and have been in several over the years. I have been singing forever and currently specialize in barbershop harmony. I am in a book club, am always reading something, and am currently devouring books on Ireland, their civil war, and Michael Collins, hoping to write an historical novel someday.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went zip lining in Jamaica.I wrote a number of books which is as amazing to me. Once I wrote a screenplay, my first and only, and it placed second in the Writer's Digest contest in a field of 473. We found the Anasazi cliff dwellings amazing.
