Music has always been in my life. It has always been natural for me to be singing or humming. I've been singing in a choir since I was 6 years old and singing solos when asked. Then 30+ years ago handbells were introduced to me. I have been trying to accomplish them ever since, playing in choirs and ensembles. I am proud to be a founding member of Bells of the Desert. The challenges of ringing and the joy of playing with others who enjoy bells keeps me trying. For quiet time I enjoy working in my yard and flowers and watching the mighty Columbia. For fun I enjoy jet skiing and fishing with my husband. Crafting, sewing, biking and reading always take my time as well.
