Short Bio

I live in Southern Maine, but did live on the Gulf Coast of Florida for 8 yrs. I have a wonderful husband, and 2 dogs. I enjoy gardening, nature, crafting, collecting, watercolor painting, sewing, among other things. In 2017, one year before my diagnosis, we decided to buy a 2 family home with my sisters. That turned out to be a real gift since learning I have IPF.
