Hometown

Bucks County, PA

Places I've been

Pretty much an East Coast gal- lived from Massachusetts to Florida, but Pennsylvania has always felt like home. If I ever left Bucks County, it'd likely be to go to either Virginia, Vermont or . . Italy (but I doubt that I'm brave enough to live abroad).

More about me

OK- 'About Me" . . . I'm a 58 year young aging hippie diva type , nurturer, earth mama, jazz singer, good and enthusiastic cook/home entertainer ~ I love to find ways to share the view that I have of this beauteous planet . . . love my photography, writing, quilting, mostly SINGING. 

I have a great group of loving and interesting friends- those earth angels who keep you afloat when the debris of life starts weighing you down, you know?  Don't have much left in the way of family, but I love the ones I still have and know I'm blessed to have had those I've lost.  I'm an affectionate partner and a loyal friend.

Given the choice, I'll choose the mountains over the beach, the countryside over the city, a starlit night full of peepers over the neon and brash din of, say,Vegas . . . but hey- it's all good, right?  I like real, freshly made food over fast/prefab food, jazz/classical and classic rock over rap, country or hip hop . . . despise 'reality' TV shows, shock jocks and large servings of news . . hate the fact that most people seem more interested in who's the father of Anna whatserface's baby than in how many were killed on any given day OR in what good work has been done and by whom.   I know . . blah-blah-blah . . sorry.
