I'm an old gal and have lived in many places, such as Tripoli, Libya, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Key West Forida, many of our great states, as well as the great Northwest in communities with magical names like Onion Creek; where electricity only reached a few of the mountain homes and neighbors were as unique as characters in a Steinbeck novel.  But  my favorite spots to hang out are in the marvelous places my imagination creates.  A retired jeweler, now a teacher, I simply love sharing these stories and adventures.  So, I write.
