####**Ryta Peschka at Home**

Ryta loves cooking and can often be found in the kitchen trying out new dishes to share. She is most at ease at her little trailer by a lake. Here in the warmer months, you can find her sitting on the porch with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, listening to the loons, and watching the hummingbirds at the feeder.

Every summer she rereads a Nancy Drew mystery book from her younger years. She loves to paint, draw and is tackling embroidery.

You can often find her playing or face timing with her young granddaughter.
