I grew up in Virginia. I now live in Pennsylvania. I have fibromyalgia which is worse in the winter. I read and do bead work. I make my own bead patterns. I'm not able to work for long hours.
I live in the city but have a home in the mountains. I have three dogs. I'm an attorney. I drive an SUV.
Do you take your dogs with you when you visit your home in the mountains? I do! They love it up there because they get to run free and have way more space to explore. Do you like to visit the mountains? That is awesome! Unfortunately I do very little traveling due to my fibromyalgia, but I have always admired the scenery. I would imagine it is very peaceful though. Have you traveled abroad or elsewhere?  Aw I'm sorry to hear that your pain keeps you from traveling a lot. You can do virtual trips maybe? I have only been out of the US once. Have you? Virtual traveling is a great idea! I should definitely look into that. In my younger years I was able to travel to Spain with a group of peers. I'd love to go to India if I could since I've found they are noted for their beautiful bead work which has always been an inspiration. Spain must have been so amazing. I've heard it has some really interesting architecture and art. What was your favorite part of that trip? India sounds very cool but I most want to see Peru. Madrid was beautiful! I loved being able to enjoy the livelihood of the people, food, and culture. I'd highly recommend planning a trip in the near future if possible. I've heard great things about Peru as well. Are you planning any trips soon?  I'll have to check it out someday! Yeah I'd really love to see Machu Picchu and to try local Peruvian food. I don't have any plans besides my trips to the mountains sadly. That's ok! I'm sure something will come up. I enjoy a few Peruvian dishes myself, but can imagine authentic Peruvian food is exquisite! I love food! What's your favorite dish?  I love food too! My favorite changes every few weeks based off how I'm feeling but right now it's Pad See Ew, a Thai dish. What's your favorite food? I'm in love with Spanish dishes. My current favorite Pulpo a la gallega. It's basically a spicy boiled octopus soup served best with bread and wine.  I've never had that but it sounds really good! Outside of my normal wheelhouse but definitely interesting!
