About
Thank you for stopping by. If I could design my website as a shape, it would be a sphere, a rotating ball, allowing you to see all sides. Creatively, I am like a bouncy ball going in all different directions. I get bored and bounce all around. Sometimes, I write, bake, take photographs, or get lost in nature. I enjoy photographing landscapes, pets, people, and food. I bake cakes, pies, and cookies, lots and lots of cookies. I enjoy drawing and experimenting with digital art. I am trained to conduct oral histories for individuals who wish to document a story for future generations. Everything I do, I do with passion, even cleaning. I do lots of cleaning. I am a reluctant gardener. I would rather clean than pull weeds.
​
Speaking of passion, being a wife, mother to two children, and two French Bulldogs has been my main priority in life. Although the world often sees this as backward 1950s thinking, or
sees me as: "just a mother," "having it made," a life of leisure. To me, it is a matter of personality. A worker works whether or not they get a paycheck, whether or not company is coming. Some who receive a paycheck or hold a title can be lazy, yet their title itself implies a level of work. Now that my kids are grown, my life is so much easier. I have time to put my feet up and work at a leisurely pace. For this, I am grateful. It wasn't an accident. It was about partnership, doing what each of us did best. It took planning, love, and trust.

​I am a passionate listener and enjoy memoirs and everyday interactions with regular people. At the same time, I crave solitude, nature, and animals. I enjoy time alone. I hate small talk. It's so draining.

And yes, "life happens when you are making other plans," John Lennon. Unfortunately, both my beautiful son Scott, forever twenty-two, and my buddy, my husband, Bob, are deceased. I lost them both at a young age due to natural causes.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a bit.
