: About Me

I'm 57 years old and write when I think I have something important to say. I read about Helium in my local paper and thought it might help me figure out how to start writing for publication.

I have four adult children I raised as a single parent after two marriages and two divorces. They've managed to share five grandchildren with me, which keeps me young or wears me out. I'm not quite sure which. It all depends on the day and situation.

Hopefully I can figure out the site and get something posted soon.

My passion is ...

Life

I know too much about ...

Negative things

My parents always told me ...

I'd be late for my own funeral

My childhood ambition ...

To be a princess

My favorite memory ...

Family Reunions

Why I write ...

I have to

My first job ...

Counter help in a Tasty Freeze

My inspiration ...

Children, hope for positive changes

Wolverine? Stop trying to stick pencils in your skin It's make believe and only pretend. Why not a fire fighter Or a witch with a hat and a wig? Good Lord, it's hard to fill a fantasy! Monster masks and sweatshirts, Suggestion more than terror, Oh no it has to be Like real when you're only three. Memory lane and Mom Putting bananas on my head Carmine Miranda I remember with dread. Those bananas fell Turned trick or treat Into slippery hell. Nightmare of shopping Candy would be cheaper Maybe next year He can be the Reaper Halloween fantasy and fun Thank God it's only once a year!
