JANE'S BIO

My name is Jane (or Miniviolets or Hobbit) and I was born in the 1960s.

Home is Fairbanks, Alaska with my husband (Bob), two Yorkshire terriers (Melody and Pepper) and two cats (Kevin and Benny).

I am originally from Canada, where I worked in Toronto for years as a legal secretary. Now, I telecommute to my job, and like telecommuting very much more than going in to an office every day!

My passions are growing miniature African violets and the micro miniatures as well. I like the standard size too, but the miniatures and micro minis are really my favorites. I have several semi-miniature African violets and two micro minis that live in a 10-gallon aquarium.

Being a diabetic, one of the things I like to do is try to make up new recipes that I can eat. I have a BBQ sauce recipe that I created on my own (with my husband's help of course!). I entered the recipe into our State Fair here in Fairbanks and won an award for it.

Living in Fairbanks is an experience unto itself. The winters are long and cold, with little daylight during December, January and February. But the summers are fantastic, 24-hour daylight, a baseball team to be very proud of, the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks, and the most beautiful weather you can imagine!
