Love of dogs, cooking, travel and curling

We found with a young family having a pet was not only important but necessary in maintaining a loving and balanced home.  Raising three children put my culinary talents to the test, as they grew older it has been enjoyable exploring different cuisines in and out of the kitchen.  We have been fortunate to travel and see beautiful parts of our world and look forward to exploring more.  Recently, we took up curling and to my pleasant surprise I am thoroughly enjoying the sport and the socializing that comes with it.
