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.

Hopeful House 🏡

By Julia Schmeelk | October 4, 2018

We saw the house yesterday. It is really great, lots of room for us, lots of room for our stuff, even a fenced yard for the dog. In town but quiet, less than 10 minutes from my parents, tucked away behind and around municipal buildings and in an established neighborhood. The house is part of an estate sale, so the house comes with all appliances including a washer and dryer.…
