About Me

I'm a mom to three adult children and two adorable grandsons. I taught elementary school for many years and now work as a tutor. My husband and I live in Lake Forest Park, Washington.Since his name is Jay and my name is Robin, we collect lots of bird things.

I grew up in California, near San Francisco and went to college in Santa Cruz. We moved to Washington in 1990 and we love the Evergreen State!

We have two rescue dogs, Molly & Pippa, and a 26-year old cockatiel named Avi.

I love to garden and we even bought a greenhouse since our summers are so short here. My favorite things to grow are: tomatoes, raspberries, grapes, carrots, sunflowers, and potatoes.

Molly and Pippa snuggling together. Molly is the mom and Pippa is her daughter (Molly on right). They were found in California and brought up to Washington by a rescue organization.

Avi the cockatiel. He's 26 years old! That's pretty old for a cockatiel.

This was the first robin and jay set we got.
