Creative Works —

I was born and raised in California and love the outdoors.  I recently went on a three-month journey living full-time in a camper van I named Dolly and traveling through the western US with my super cute, exceptional sweet pup named Holly.  I’m a bit of thrill seeker, having jumped from a plane, rafted many a river and hiked many a mile.  I have one son who is a Major and Ranger in the Army and in November I get to add the title of Grandma to my resume, and I can’t wait!!!
