I am a Realtor....so finding a good home that fits a buyer is my never ending matchmaking job! I have 6 children and 3 grandkids. I love to cook and entertain, I put special focus on fun presentations and improving and updating basic easy foods.I like surprise ingredients that amend a dish's flavors, great ways to lay out a buffet. When not selling real estate, we rehab homes, so I choose colors that capture the home and design rooms to fit the way people live and entertain today. It's all fun!....oh, and I make jam and jelly. lots of it.
