Hello, I am happy to have found Swap-Bot and look forward to making friends, maybe some penpal friends, and have a good time. Please pardon while I work on my profile page. :0)

I am male, in my late 50s, and have lived in Texas most of my life (I lived in Tennessee for four years after graduating high school). Some consider me an old-spirit preferring things related to times long ago which probably explains why I like historical/vintage ephemera and memorabilia.

I love nature and wish that I had camped more, but do like to visit parks; especially those with mountains, lakes, and trees. If it is a governmental protected heritage site; I probably want to visit it.

Although, I do work with people; if I had my career to do over again I would have become a cultural anthropologist because learning about other beliefs, values, and societies fascinates me.

I love art and can spend hours in a good museum. My favorite artist include Vincent Van Gogh, Claud Monet, Rembrandt, Picasso, El Greco, Renoir, Hudson River School... I could go on, and on...

Favorite Themes: Renaissance, Edwardian, Victorian, Cottagecore, Oriental, Japanese, Chinoiserie Wizards, Enchantment, Mystical Nature, Forrest, Hills, Mountains, Lakes, Streams I do like things with bees, dragonflies, thistles, hares, bunnies, wildflowers or English garden stuff.

While I think they are cute; I am not a Sanrio type person. Same for faries.

Favorite Authors: Anne Rice, Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Clive Barker, John Grisham, Toni Morrison, C.S. Lewis

Favorite Books: Vampire Chronicles, The Wheel of Time, Weavworld, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath, to name a few

Stargate, The West Wing, Downtown Abby, The Tudors, Hose of Cards, Rome, Doctor Who (new), Sherlock, Broadchurch, Severance, anything Joss Whedon or the Duffy Brothers, Dead Like Me, Six Feet Under,

Hobbies: Cooking - Reading - Travel - PenPal - Paper Crafts - I wish I was a better gardener.
