Family, hobbies and a bit about the dogs. . . . .  

I am the single mother of two young adults – who have provided me with both my biggest challenges and accomplishments.  Both are highly creative and successful in their personal lives and we continue to consult and debate on a regular basis.   

Also, my family is the owner of two wonderful dogs, Jet, a Shitshu who was born in our home and Zero . . .  a rescue dog from the local pound.  We have hundreds of stories to share about our pets and look forward to hearing tales about your pets. 

 I have had a keen interest in art and antiques my entire life and have collected art, china, furniture and collectables from my favorite period of history, circa 1840.  I believe this has assisted me with a clear vision of timelessness and enduring uniqueness.   Everything was new once – but how has it stood up to the test of time and fashion?  I am sorry that some homes were born “ugly” – I am thankful that are people out there who buy ugly homes because my clients will not be buying them . . . . unless they sit on a unique lot and we have drastic plans to remodel. . . . .    

I enjoy working out and have a membership at the Village at Gainey Ranch.  It is great place to unwind.
