About Me

I'm a mother, wife and nature lover.

After working 21 years in a local elementary school, my time is now my own. And I have filled every minute of it.

I have two incredible volunteer jobs ever! During the summer months I am a trail guide at Timpanogos Cave National Monument. And I love it! Spending days hiking the trail and talking to those who are on an adventure is amazing. You can check it out here: https://www.nps.gov/tica/index.htm

During the colder months I volunteer at the Thanksgiving Point Butterfly Biosphere working with the entomologist and horticulturists to help the butterflies thrive. It is peaceful, beautiful and humid. LOVE! You can check it out here: https://thanksgivingpoint.org/experience/butterfly-biosphere/

I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming, pretty much anything! I volunteer as a leave no trace trainer and love to teach and educate others on the importance of respecting our beautiful land.

I love deserts, beaches, forests, all of it! Being outside centers and balances me. You will always find me with a rock, shell or leaf in my pocket. I can't help it!

I have been married to the most wonderful man for 33 years and have 4 children, ages 29-21 and two sweet grand babies! Life is good!

I am an eternal optimist. I try to always look for the good in situations and people.

Everything, I'm not picky. I just appreciate the time it takes to mail something. If it makes you smile, most likely it will make me smile.

In Conclusion

Letters are my favorite part of swaps. I love reading about the lives of others.

Tell me about your favorite hobby or your favorite food.

Tell me what makes you happy or what frustrates you.

Tell me what you did yesterday or what you hope to do tomorrow.

Tell me anything.

Happy SWAPPING!

Comment: Thank you for the cute notecards and the interesting note! I love tulips. My Dad used to grow them when he was still alive. They came up every year, so beautiful. I can't imagine 300,000 of them!

Comment: Thank you for all the lovely flowery things. I grow yellow tulips every year. I still have my Uncle Shelby's Zoo: In the undergrowth, there dwells a Bloath, who feeds upon poets and tea. Luckily I know this about him, while he knows almost nothing of me!
Response: I LOVE this rating! thanks for the smile!

Comment: Citrine is one of my favourite stones, and has been for many years. Of course, most stones/minerals in that range are also wonderful: honey calcite or topaz are fantastic as well. Wouldn't you know, the envelope came the afternoon of the 8th! That's the first day of Nissan, Aries on the Hebrew calendar. Thanks again.

Comment: Thank you for the useful and versatile papers, in your signature pocket, with a wonderful note about Joshua Tree and packed with info about now endangered mangroves. Can you believe I've never been to JT?! I've never been drawn to the desert - my gills get too dried out. I prefer to stay near the coast and lurk in the ferns and moss and redwoods.
