About This Author

Hi there!

I'm a grandmother, a nursing educator, an avid knitter and an aspiring writer. I created this page for family and friends who expressed interest in reading my writing. It is mostly poetry with a few short stories sprinkled here and there .

The poem on this page is one my Mom favored. The collectible trinket is from a needlework picture of Longfellow's home she completed. Mom loved poetry and was an avid reader. She and my brother,Rasputin , inspire me still.

I have a published form modification called the Rondel Grand Modified; it is located here:

Drop me a note by clicking on the "Contact Me" link above and let me know you stopped to visit.


Happy reading and write on!

Frayed Feisty Threads - Book IV

To the reader...
          Although I wrote the majority of stories in this book, it is inexplicably difficult for this book to come alive without including pertinent writing by other family members.

         Our lives were in intricately woven together like a fine linen cloth, each strand crossing the other multiple times on the journey to becoming a tightly woven fabric.

         The works in this volume and succeeding books are indeed the words that bind us together as a family. You who come after are charged with honoring, cherishing and protecting this legacy.

         It is my fervent hope that you expand this body of literature.
