Additional biographical information

Goal: One day retire and work from home full time while looking out over a lake or an ocean. At this time I am happy to say we have the lake view! Finally got the property! Now to build the log cabin. Would love to just work and create from home. Spend time with children and grandson. Enjoy being outside most of all in the sun.
