Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. My professional background is social work/trainer becoming  a division manager for Department of Social and Health Services, Washington State. I live in a lovely home on five acres near Olympia, WA. We enjoy spending time at our log cabin in this woods on an Island in the Puget Sound. 

i enjoy oil and acrylic painting, decorating, gardening and cooking/baking. I make and decorate cookies but not as beautiful as I would like. Actually, humbling comes to mind. I love your cookies as well as other great cookie makers!
