I am Sharon, a retired children’s librarian and teacher. I have lived in Texas, California, Hawaii and Oregon. I have 4 children, all grown and doing well. One son and his family lives in New Zealand; I visited there in January to see them and to attend my daughter's wedding. I love the beach and swimming in the ocean. My favorite music is classical and "New Age". I put on Pandora every morning to listen to soothing music as I watch it rain in Oregon! I listen to books on Audible as it allows me to work and listen at the same time. I enjoy murder mysteries, high fantasy, and science fiction. My work these days is cleaning up my home and doing yard work. There was a huge ice storm here while I was goine to NZ which created a big mess in my yard.

I enjoy science fiction movies (not horror) and documentaries and murder mysteries. Same with TV. I have been crocheting for almost 50 years and doing some knitting too. I also sew, making tote bags and small pillows to give to the homeless shelter, to the hospital and to schools. My daughter in law introduced me to Swap-bot and since I have collected so many paper goods over the years, I feel like this would be a fun craft to do. I have one pug dog and two cats that all stay inside with me. Curly the pug down get out but he doesn't like the rain!
I like to garden, but much I the things I have planted have been eaten up by deer.. My yard is part of their path to other yards and feeding grounds so I just try to keep the yard cleaned up of leaves and downed branches.

Big changes in my life: my son, daughter in law and grandson moved back here from New Zealand at the beginning of August. Their things are waiting to be shipped so they are staying with me. Quite a change from being the only one in the house. They are looking for a house and grandson is registered in high school.
