Hello! I have loved my life on Bainbridge Island and am having so much fun living with my twin sister! I continue to teach Kindergarten one day a week at Blakely Elementary!

My favorite activities are reading, walking in the woods, quilting, baking, finding lovely picture books, a bit of knitting, spending time with my grandchildren Gideon, Tobias, Matilda, and Ashby, trying to grow a garden, and traveling with my sister! If you drive by our place on the weekends you will see us sitting in the window planning our next trip!
