My husband and I live in Bend, OR with our dogs, cats, chickens, goats donkeys.I am at a time in my life that is very special. I have 3 grandchildren and 3 grandparents, who are on relatively good shape for their age.I am a photographer that likes to shoot whatever is in my frame but is better at close-ups. Not too fond of photographing people, except grandchildren. I will climb in a garbage can to get a picture.I am a Scottish/Irish/Welsh girl and love scotch and food. My husband and I have a food blog. 365 Days of Cooking With Alcohol!I love to travel so when my daughter lived in an 11th century chateau castle for two years, I made it a point to spend a fair amount of time in France. Besides, its close enough to Ireland and Scotland to pop on over.
