As Potential Hosts...or As Potential Friends

Welcome graphic

Everyone else has a web site, so I figured, why not me too? On this site I'll describe myself and share my interests and ideas.

I am greatly interested in hosting an international student, who currently attends one of the community or private colleges in Seattle, North or East of Seattle.

I was once an international student who had an awesome experience in Japan almost a decade ago.  At this point of time, I would very much want to be on the other side of the fence, so to speak, and would like to mentor and host an international student.

Should you be on the lookout for a host, please feel free to drop a line. References will be provided.

Thank you and hope to get to know you soon!!!

My Hobbies

Last summer, I decided to plant roses and herbs and they proved to be very fragrant and useful...the pots of roses were by my front door and everytime I walk by, I sniff and smile as I walk away...As I struggle to open the front door after work, the longer I linger at the entrance, the more I smell roses...

Those roses were mean, bloooming machines...Not only was I fortunate to have them as living fresh potpourri, I harvested 4-8 blooms a week!!!

Thank God for herbs...rosemary, oregano, thyme, and basil...I had these to start with and they served useful to flavor soup, chicken, fish, and meats...I also used them for garnish...I had a blast experimenting with them and glad that I didn't have to spend $ to buy at the store...These herbs, along with tomatoes and roses kept me busy last summer and I sure can not wait to plant tulips in the fall for next year's spring garden!!!

In the meantime, I will continue knitting and I promise to learn a trick or two...In fact, I've started with a scarf about a week ago and when I'm done with the fringes, I will work on adding sparkles like beads and crystals...

Most Admired

Self-less acts of those who offer help to others, even just taking shopping bags for and escorting an elderly at a grocery store...
