I travel to Keene, NH, Brattleboro, VT, Greenfield MA, South Deerfield MA, Turners Falls MA, As well as the local area of Gloucester, Peabody, Danvers, Lynn area, in short, anywhere in New England. I had a two week stint at the Balsoms Resort in Dixeville Notch N.H. A stones throw away from the Canadian Border. That was fun. Met a lot of people from all over. I played in a  room called The Cave. A year later, I had a wedding consultation at a bride to be’s house in Newburyport and on the coffee table was my picture performing at the Balsom’s Resort. How strange was that. The Bride to Be and her boyfriend took some pictures of everyone dancing and singing in the Cave, they weren’t engaged at that point!

My favorite hobbies are Gardening, (I won a gardening wall plaque from the City of Peabody, after I entered a gardening contest), growing tropical plants like plumeria, hibiscus, banana trees, Brugmansia (angels trumpets), passion flower vines, bamboo, anything tropical, I love. No, I’ve never been to Hawaii, but I built my own! I am in the orchard society, the daylily society, rented a greenhouse space for years in Waltham at the University of Mass field station across from Bentley College.

I have a 72 gallon salt water fish tank in my house, with fish like yellow tangs, coral beauty, clown fish, a Picasso trigger, (kind of a bully), a blue green wrass along with sea shells on the walls from all over the world. A breath taking tank (when I get around to cleaning it).

I go to school nights taking short 10 week classes on various subjects, computer building, auto body repair, web site design, plumbing, anything that will make me more self sufficient! That’s very important to me. Too many dysfunctional people to rely on today. So take control of your life, be proactive and as they say, don’t wait for your ship to come in; swim out to it!
