About me
I have lived in Montana for over 20 years. I have three wonderful adult children that also reside in Montana. I enjoy crafts, family, and my dogs. I have traveled many places in Montana. I have an appreciation for live theater and have traveled near and far. From Fort Peck to New York. I have come to find that my favorite winter activity is ice fishing.
