A little bit about me...
I grew up in a a hiking/backpacking family and by the age of seven I had hiked to several mountain tops and logged many miles in Southern California.

Today I live with my wonderful husband on six acres east of Sandy, Oregon, very close to the Mt Hood National Forest, where I spend much of my time.

In my adult years I have added cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, canoeing and kayaking to my list of activities.  For my 50th birthday I climbed Mt Hood and have since climbed Mt St Helens, Mt Adams, South Sister, Middle Sister, Burroughs Mtns, and Old Snowy.

I enjoy spending time with my five grandchildren and my home hobbies are mixed media art, stained glass and beading.

I am a non-denominational officiant, ordained through All Faiths Church of the Pacific Northwest and have been performing wedding ceremonies since 2006.
