I love the outdoors... I have had horses most of my life. I was a Girl Scout for many years, and even volunteered at the local Girl Scout horse camp. I like swimming too, and finally we have a pool at our house, but I spend more time cleaning the pool than swimming! I also love camping, especially in the mountains (I live in flat land, so mountains are a special treat for me). In the mountains the skies are dark and the stars are wonderfully bright - perfect for an astronomer!
