Extended Profile
I live in a small village about 5 miles from Yarmouth on Nova Scotia's beautiful southwest shore. A few years ago, I sold my ownership of a small commercial printing company and have retired to look after my husband of 30 years and our family of two dogs and two cats. I am the step-mother of two and the step-grandmother of three beautiful girls. I also have two step-granddogs and four step-grandcats.

One of my very closest friends is fellow BC'er Bluenoser, who referred me to the fun of bookcrossing. We share a love of books and animals and greatly support our local SPCA shelter. I'm also passionate about gardening and puttering in my greenhouse and working in my fishpond.

My husband and I love to travel, both overseas and "down South" in the winter and we recently bought a motor coach which we hope will take us further afield in North America, once he retires completely.

I have two favourite quotes -

"The moral progress of a nation can be judged by the way it treats its animals."
Ghandi

and

"I'd rather laugh with the Sinners than cry with the Saints"
Billy Joel
