I appreciate and have been a part of United Methodist Women, now United Women in Faith, since I was born.  I love children and youth and advocating for ministries and missions that serve them and meet their needs.  I know sign language.  I love music. I play the flute and piano, a bit of banjo, and enjoy singing; all enough to have fun, none very well!!  I enjoy crafting and writing letters.  I enjoy bike riding and outdoor adventures.

 

We also come with Mango, a Bernedoodle born in February 2022 who joined our family in May of 2022.
