I am a mother, grandmother & married for 40 years. I love to cook and my husband & I have a ranch for rescued horses. I love having friends & family over for dinner etc. they make the best critics. I am artistic, crafty & love working in the garden. Since being here in the country (2 Yrs) I have learned a variety of new recipes..I even make my own hamburger buns. I've learned to can and have found a great website for getting information about vegetables..canning, freezing etc. I do yearn for the city life as there is little shopping here in this small country community & am planning to move back to NW Oregon. We are currently in the high desert and it has taken some getting used to. I am excited about joining this website...
