About me

Wife, mother, musician, teacher, performer, grower of things, nurturer of people, plants and animals, watcher of people, lover of Mozart, Chopin, Brahms, Bach, and Dan Fogelberg (not necessarily in that order! LOL), and generally a good--albeit imperfect--person. Delightfully married to an incredible man.

Why I choose the Opera browser

Because a good friend was here and suggested it, and because I tend to listen to the suggestions of my good friend.
