More about me

I don't stand out in the crowd.  On purpose.  I move about freely without making my presence known.  I'm light on my feet and very nimble.  The downside of this is that I frequently scare people.

I am tolerant for the most part.  I am certainly willing to let people have their own opinions, as long as they don't tromp all over mine.  I will walk away from a fight rather than letting it come down to harsh words.  Life is too short to hurt other people.

I love children.  I love baking.  I love growing things in my back yard.  Half is flowers and the other half vegetables.

For some reason, total strangers will speak to me.  It's like I am wearing a sign on my forehead that says, "Talk to this person.  She can help."

Activities

I'm a power walker. I became a power walker when we got a power-walking dog. He weighs almost the same as me and he has a mind of his own. So I walk hard to keep up to him.
