All About Me
Evidently I was born, although I do not remember the party. Stories indicate I had a pink carnation in the nursery that I greatly admired. I was one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family, filled with curiosity, acceptance and more than our fair share of laughter. We have
our tragedies and trials, but somehow, we usually manage to band together and face them with as much strength as possible.
My husband and I have been together for… let’s say we met in 1983. He is not only my companion and friend, but also the guardian of my imagination. I imagine I am not easy to live with on a regular basis, especially because I am not always present where my feet are, but I also tend to babble and talk to my characters as I am plotting. Yes, he deserves a medal.
For thirty years, I was the teacher in a classroom. 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.

My yard is taking shape. We gathered all the newly downed limbs, cut up sticks and raked up the leaves. Lots to do but also plenty of new discoveries. Our first Spring in…

I’m not sure why, maybe to celebrate spring, or because I had gotten a bag of lemons on sale, but I got up one morning this week and decided to candy some lemon slices. It’s an easy process, put a little water in a nonstick pan, add sugar, enough so it cannot desolve, add the lemon slices, then turn up the heat to a slow boil, making a syrup. Cook…
