It was an experience I would never give up and I hope I made a difference for those students, but underneath the apple crusted desk, I was always a writer, an observer and a student of human behavior and responses. My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

I was 5,000 miles from the nearest relative besides my husband, Shawn. Air traffic shut down. We were on a…
At the first stirrings of spring, my dad and I went into the local farm and fleet and ordered 2 out of the shell ducks. We also got 8 more chicks, Rhode Island Reds, to go with our other chickens. After some discussion we were ready to try ducks, but we had no idea what kind. We talked to a young man who worked in that department and with a…
