Bio

I am a 78-year old grandmother who loves to write, fish, and grab my camera to capture the beautiful scenery I see around me.

My husband and I found our paradise in Punta Gorda Florida where the weather always keeps us guessing.

Dem Bones
An old song, written by James Weldon Johnson and his brother Rosamond and first recorded by them in 1928 leaps into my mind every time we have damp weather, or a storm with thunder and lightning, or maybe I just overwork my body.

Do I Like to Travel?
My first question to myself is: Do I like to travel? Hmm! Well now, there’s a question! I guess answering that might bring up more questions to which the answers might be a bit complicate.

Mom and Dementia

The Next Matador
I always enjoyed a good challenge when it came to writing poetry. It was that way in school, too. Our teacher would give us a subject and then, we’d have fifteen minutes to see what we would do with it.

Lightning Strikes Often
When I married my husband, I already had a cat. Okay, so Midnight wasn’t what I would say old enough to be called a “cat”. She was a four-month old kitten; a calm, baby, who loved to sit in your lap and be cuddled.

Hide and Seek Fish
Not too long ago, as I was reading an article about coral reefs, I saw a photo of what I thought was a coral reef. Yet, at the same time, it didn’t look like any coral reef I’d seen in pictures and that got my curiosity going. After all, I'd never seen a coral reef 'move'!

Face Plant
It was October 20, 2015. I was preparing my special “boo baskets” and made my last trip to the dollar store. I only make three a year and have fun planning and purchasing the little cheap Halloween items to fill the baskets.
