I live in the PacNW -- beautiful views of Mt Hood & Mt Helens plus the Columbia River at our door steps. We also have deer and lots of coyotes -- altho they are building mega-mansions all around us. I am retired from Fedex -- my husband works for Fedex @ home -- it's the perfect life which we share w/ the lights of our lives -- Pearl (5 1/2 ys old) and Wills (7 1/2 yrs old) -- two running rabbits Jack Russells. They are from the same father but have totally different personalities -- Pearl is sooo laid back and Wills is willful. I was delighted to find this site because I love my dogs, saving money and gardening -- not much of a cook or crafts person. I collect vintage restaurant ware china and sterling silver (1800's) --- and I am an avid reader. CJ
