I live in the beautiful Hudson River valley at the base of the Shawangunk Mountains. I share my life with an amazing man that I was lucky enough to marry over 23 years ago. We somehow managed to raise (and not screw up too badly) two daughters who are on their way to adulthood and college graduation. (whoo-hoo!) They are leaving our nest only partially empty since there are still 16 chickens, 2 pugs, 1 rescued yorkie, an african water frog that has outlived it's welcome and a goat who also hang out with us on a daily basis. Life is grand!
