Well I love to travel, but I also love to come home. I enjoy working in my garden and my friends enjoy my effort. I love to cook(a lot) most cuisines. My friends benefit from my efforts willingly and happily. I love to read, my library is my favorite room, two thousand volumes and growing, most of which I've read cover to cover, some of which are reference. My friends are my family. I value them greatly. I consider myself an Epicurean/ Senescent student of philosophy. Aka , enjoy life and the things you enjoy in moderation realize who you are. Don't let life take control of you life and you are how you react to life. And a curious mind is a happy mind. My husband and I have been together for 25 happy caring years. Gods willing, will ride out the test together too. This about sums me up, not too complicated.
