I'm not sure how to write a reputable "Bio" for myself. After reading so many "Featured Writer" bios, I knew there was nothing I could say about myself that could come close to holding a candle to them.

I have no fascinating claims to accomplishments. Beyond High School, there have been no opportunities for higher education short of what Life has taught me.Though I have had a few jobs that are unusual, and some not so unusual, I've always given 110% of myself to do the job to the best of my abilities.

I must mention the one other factor that helps me maintain sanity, my elderly Yorkie, Morton. He has been my anchor and mainstay.

I'm only an aging woman trying to eke out a resonable living. I can only claim to a simple life with quite a few bumps in the road. These things keep me humble and make me who I am today.
