Two years ago I retired to take care of my Mother. After she passed away in December I started looking at ways to fill my time. First and always, I am an artist but also have a strong interest in writing. Hopefully you will find some merit in my work. I come from an artistic background as both my father and his mother were both artists. In addition to that I also have a backgroynd in music. I primarily play guitar but have owned numerous instruments. You know the list goes on as I also have years invested in crafts and needlework. Why am I telling you all this? Because this is just a portion of who I am but you may see these in my writings.
