I love animals. I am owned by a very hyper boxer, Chai, and two cats, Snickers and Weezel.

I love music of most kinds, and, although I do not have a great voice, I really enjoy singing in the church choir. My favorite kind of music changes, with the range from Mexican Huapangos to R.E.M. to Palestrina to Berlioz to Jean-Michel Jarre to digeridoo. I even like Country at times. My favorite band right now is Green Day, and I am singing with a fabulous Sweet Adelines chorus, Sound of New England.

In January 2006 I began taking a picture (usually more than one) every day and gathering them into albums at the end of each month. I started with no subjects in particular, often featured the weather, but eventually started doing themes, like circles or reflections. By December 2006, I had enticed my children to join me in the project, and throughout most of 2007, there were nine of us in the family taking and posting pictures. A link to my photo website has links to all the other participants as well as links to all of 2006 and 2007.

I love dollhouses and miniatures and have a decent collection, which includes some houses and furniture I've made, some contemporary work, and some antique.

I have three brothers, one of whom has a website. Tom is an antique dealer in Connecticut, Red is a chemical expert and computer programmer in Michigan, and Caleb is a retired computer programmer in Arizona who is an amazing pianist. My husband Morrow is a brilliant and talented teacher, writer, photographer, and computer expert. Our son Andrew is an artist with a great website, always being updated, and our daughter Martha is getting a Masters in Fine Art in Photography in San Francisco and has two websites, one for the photography, and one for her brilliant collage work. Nephew Taylor Deupree is a graphic artist who is also a well-known musician in the electronic music field; he has his own recording label, 12K. Niece Karolen Deupree makes the most beautiful lampwork glass beads I've ever seen and has her own website. Niece Kathryn Deupree is an artist in Chicago who also has a website. Cousin Jenny Deupree operates Neskaya in Franconia, NH, primarily a center for dance events. I am lucky to have such a wonderful family!
