About Me

I'm a mother, wife and nature lover.

After working 21 years in a local elementary school, my time is now my own. And I have filled every minute of it.

I have two incredible volunteer jobs ever! During the summer months I am a trail guide at Timpanogos Cave National Monument. And I love it! Spending days hiking the trail and talking to those who are on an adventure is amazing. You can check it out here: https://www.nps.gov/tica/index.htm

During the colder months I volunteer at the Thanksgiving Point Butterfly Biosphere working with the entomologist and horticulturists to help the butterflies thrive. It is peaceful, beautiful and humid. LOVE! You can check it out here: https://thanksgivingpoint.org/experience/butterfly-biosphere/

I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming, pretty much anything! I volunteer as a leave no trace trainer and love to teach and educate others on the importance of respecting our beautiful land.

I love deserts, beaches, forests, all of it! Being outside centers and balances me. You will always find me with a rock, shell or leaf in my pocket. I can't help it!

I have been married to the most wonderful man for 33 years and have 4 children, ages 29-21 and two sweet grand babies! Life is good!

I am an eternal optimist. I try to always look for the good in situations and people.

In Conclusion

Letters are my favorite part of swaps. I love reading about the lives of others.

Tell me about your favorite hobby or your favorite food.

Tell me what makes you happy or what frustrates you.

Tell me what you did yesterday or what you hope to do tomorrow.

Tell me anything.

Happy SWAPPING!

Comment: My favorite part of this was the infodumping. I used to be a geology major at UC Berkeley, and rock hounds never quit. We should totally do a swap!

Comment: Very interesting! The closest national park to me is the Monongehela National Forest, which is mostly forest land, with some town within it. However, the US Navy has a site high up in that mountain area where they had radio surveillance of theAtlantic ocean in WW 2. My uncles who lived in Elkins, WV, hunted deer there. I believe the small patch of virgin forest land left in WV is in the Monongehela but I'm not sure...if not in it, close to it.

Comment: Very nice! I found ATCs before I found Swapbot- then needed a place to get rid of them- so here we are! Never been to Grand Canyon- but still believe I will. Love the butterflies!

Comment: Hello Jill ! I received your swap today with your such nice note and 20+ stickers. I very much enjoyed looking through the stickers and reading your note. I loved them! Thank you for bringing a smile to my face. Esp. having to deal with the death of my husband. Which he passed New year's Day (2025). It's not been easy for me at all. I took a little over a month off for grieving. I had to make myself come back to swap-bot. But I'm glad I did, so keep my mind off my husband's death. Take care and be safe. Oh, I enjoyed reading your nice note. Sounds like you're pretty busy with your volunteering. I'm sure it's very rewarding for you. 😀
Response: Thank you for the lovely response. YOU are the reason I do swapbot. I love bring a little bit of joy to someone's day. I know I get joy when I have a special envelope in the mailbox. Peace be with you.

Hey I am sorry I just found your letter and will write you I feel so ashamed it was in the fold of the letter.

Random! I just saw that you had written on a rating that you grew up in Reno!! So cool. I am a Nevada girl. Maybe one day we will swap and talk more about it :) If you are interested in joining a fun group that I do a lot of swaps in let me know. It's Sunshine Swaps and Mail if you want to check it out.
