As I was sitting out on the converted garage to lanai of our vrbo I received a phone call from an unknown number. Generally, I ignore them assuming spam but I had a good feeling that this was not. On the other end was a soft and warm voice asking if I would interview her to be put on the TeaTiff site. Linda is a jovial human being and I had the pleasure of speaking with her and interviewing her for the questions below. Thank you again Linda for the wonderful conversation and for simply picking up the phone to call me.
