Growing up in California, Margaret spent much of her time in the outdoors and her outdoor competencies were developed courtesy of her years as a Girl Scout. Margaret enjoys constant movement, whether it is walking, swimming or biking. If she can get her husband to join her, it is an added benefit. The only place she slows down is when she is in nature.
