: About Me

I am living in NC, formerly from VA. I have 2 children, and 5 grandchildren. Three of my grandchildren and my daughter live in VA and my son, his wife and their 2 sons live in NC.

I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats. I rescued 1 of my dogs from a woman that was starving him and I feel that if I had not taken him, he would not have lived through the winter. He was in bad shape but has developed into a loving friend. My soft spots are children, elderly people and animals.

I work full time and have always enjoyed writing. I submitted several poems years ago to a magazine, but none were ever published.

I have never worked as a writer, my past employment has been with the state of VA and now with the state of NC. I have also worked in pest control, now there is an interesting subject. There are those that don't believe in using chemical to control insects and there are those that understand, without chemicals, insects can do a tremendous amount of damage, to our homes, our crops and most important, our health.
