HER FAMILY
Mindy adores her family. She is
head over heels in love with her husband of thirteen
years and together they are raising two beautiful,
intelligent, compassionate, funny little boys.
When not in her office, she enjoys gardening,
hiking, biking, camping and writing about herself
in the third person. Mindy and her family live
in beautiful Corbett
Oregon. They all enjoy their neurotic yellow
lab, are jealous of their cat's sleeping abilities,
have fun with their flock of 35 laying hens and
are enjoying the new company of their two African
Toulouse goslings; Lucy and Ethel.
BUILDING AWARENESS
Mindy is passionate about the environment
and her family is very conscious of the need for
all of us to lessen our "footprint" on this tiny
blue planet. Mindy and her husband are hoping
to purchase an alternative fuel vehicle in 2009
and are working on converting their home step
by step into an
alternative energy home. She would encourage
everyone to do small things every day to help
make a difference. If you don't know where to
