Yes, this is me, although quite a few years ago! Just consider me still a kid at heart. Since my retirement from teaching upper elementary students, I’ve been able to pursue writing for children. You have discovered me on the ground floor.
After 30 years of teaching, I am now retired, a mother of four, and grandmother of 28! I always wanted to own a horse, but that never happened. I have a fairly large rock collection and a variety of sea shells. Please be aware, you might find me sitting on the porch swing, chatting with my neighborly squirrels!
