    Places I've been
    Ephrata WA (Hometown), I've spent most of my life in the NW, living in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. My second husband and I lived on San Juan Island for 12 years as a caretaker couple near Roche Harbor and later on our 27' sailboat. The past 20 years I've spent in Spokane close to my daughter and her family. I have been widowed for nearly 3 years and will take early retirement this year at age 60. I plan to spend the summer attending blue grass festivals here in the NW.
