I live on a farm in Massachusetts, a state on the East coast of the US. I am a retired nurse who began to paint in watercolors when I retired. I love dogs (especially Italian Greyhounds), birding, and learning languages. I study Italian because I love traveling to Italy and the language is beautiful. I am also studying Greek. My internet connection is not very fast so Skype is difficult to use here at home, but I would enjoy a pen-pal in Florence. I can occasionally use Skype connection at my library.
