Interests

I enjoy home remodeling with my husband. We are a team.

I came from an era that lives only in our minds and hearts. My early years were spent on a farm with my grandparents, mother, two aunts and six uncles. We slept 5 to a bed in winter and on those cold mornings, Grandpa would get up first, light a fire in the pot belly stove and when you heard the crackle of the logs you knew it was time to get up. We fished for catfish in the old dam and had to step around cow pies. My uncles worked the fields and when they had time would fill up the horse trough for me so I could "swim". When my father got out of the hospital we moved and I've been moving ever since, from California to South Dakota and back again. I never made many friends. I knew I would have to leave them but I loved to write and my first poem was written when I was about eight years old. I'm not a great writer (I wish I was) but I am a work in progress, so bear with me while I bare my soul on this site. It's hard for me but I promise I will do my best.
