Yes, I read a multitude of different book at the same time and I do not get lost between chapters. My mind jumps time and space even in the real world. I am a multifaceted individual and my passion is Books.

I love to sit curled up in my big chair by the wood stove in the winter time. In the spring and fall I love to be outside in nature. Summers are hot in the valley, then I opt for the cool, comfortable, upstairs bedroom that was once my daughters. I seldom go to the the old home place of my mother-in-laws in the mountain any more since her passing. Even the recliner where I  use to sit  no longer beckons me. It was my mothers chair and was given to my mother-in-law at her passing. Now it's a sad reminder that they are both gone. On the Other Side they are united. Life transitions. Change is constant. I loath change. As the world around me changes and the people closest to me are no longer here, the loneliness brings dispare. So I find myself on webook, I write and ponder. What does life now have in store for me?. How much longer will I even be here to set it all down?

My Grandmother Eva Elizabeth
Benson Baker Travis
She died a  month before her 100th birthday. She was born in 1906. I would have loved to experience her childhood in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC.
