More about me

I am a recently retired Episcopal priest who has just relocated to Lake Milton, Ohio.  I have two grown children, Alley and Donn. I also have three grandchildren, two grandsons and one grandaughter. They all live quite far away so I only see them once a year or so. I enjoy painting with oils, acrylic, and water color. I also weave baskets, crochet and knit as well as make wire and beaded jewelery. I used to play the piano and organ but I am not very good anymore. I do enjoy playing a small electronic keyboard just for fun.

I hope to have a small garden, now that I am retired but I am not very good with plants. We'll see what happens.

 

Activities

I enjoy fishing, reading, all types of art, crafts and creative activities. I like to cook and try new things also.
