I am originally from Texas. Whoop! Lived in Colorado for 8 years & now reside in Northern California. Still an Avalanche fan. The combination of music and cooking is truly a much needed stress reliever. I enjoy traveling & the outdoors. Art is another hobby of mine...drawing, painting, beading, etc.
