With random thoughts constantly interrupting the task at hand, it stands to reason that expression through writing is therapeutic as well as productive. Sadly, more often than not, my dogs, my flower beds, and my sewing machine get most of the attention. Follow me on this crazy journey called life. I'm happily retired, living in Lanark Highlands on the Mississippi River with hubby, and three adorable pups, So fortunate to be able to, pursue my artistic passions; painting, making jewellery, pottery, mosaics, quilting, and writing. As I work on my family tree, I'm weaving together my life stories,that have taken shape through collections of art, oddities, experiences, travels, heirlooms, and gifts received over the last few decades.
