Hello, I'm Elle. I love the outdoors, and as a family (my husband, son, and I) we did a lot of camping and hiking. Unfortunately, due to unforseen physical limitations I'm unable to engage in these activities as I used to, but still love to go when I can. We also loved cooking together, especially grilling and smoking all sorts of things. I love to read, primarily fiction. In the past few years I've been reading a lot of urban fantasy, but of course started with classics, and find it nearly impossible to get rid of books regardless of their content.
