Personal Details:

I love dark chocolate. My favorite color right now is royal blue. I have 1 brother and 1 sister. My parents live in Iowa. I am learning braille. I own an alpaca.  My favorite state park is Point Beach in Two Rivers. My favorite restaurant is Solea. I love scary movies and cartoons. Not at the same time. When I was a kid, I was so bad at piano, my parents thought I might not be musical after all. I am a recovering internet addict. 

My dream is to own an acreage near the Fox Cities - "Stone Cottage Ranch and Retreat." 

• Handicapped and wheelchair accessible home and barn

• Alpacas as therapy animals

• Cabin or housing facilities to provide a retreat to those who need it, especially those serving in the ministry

We are now in the "business plan" stages for this dream.  To be added to our list for updates, please email your info to: sunny@stonecottagemusic.com

This dream doesn't replace the music in my life.  It enhances my love of teaching and reaching others through non-traditional means.  Lessons and performances will still continue in tandem with this project.
