Bio

I am a 78-year old grandmother who loves to write, fish, and grab my camera to capture the beautiful scenery I see around me.

My husband and I found our paradise in Punta Gorda Florida where the weather always keeps us guessing.

You're All The Comfort I Need
Whenever I thought about comfort, I’d imagine a pillow or two, Maybe a blanket to keep me warm, But I never once thought about you.

Mom and Dementia
“I was married? To who?” Ever since my dad passed away in 1993, my husband and I practically badgered mom to move in with us in our home on Long Island, NY. She kept refusing using the excuses that all of dad’s memories were in the house they shared.

Midnight Magic
My sons were in their teens when they came home from their friend’s house. “Mom,” my younger son, Jim said, “Chris’s mom’s cat is pregnant.”

The Next Matador
I always enjoyed a good challenge when it came to writing poetry. It was that way in school, too. Our teacher would give us a subject and then, we’d have fifteen minutes to see what we would do with it.

Lightning Strikes Often
When I married my husband, I already had a cat. Okay, so Midnight wasn’t what I would say old enough to be called a “cat”. She was a four-month old kitten; a calm, baby, who loved to sit in your lap and be cuddled.

Hide and Seek Fish
Not too long ago, as I was reading an article about coral reefs, I saw a photo of what I thought was a coral reef. Yet, at the same time, it didn’t look like any coral reef I’d seen in pictures and that got my curiosity going. After all, I'd never seen a coral reef 'move'!

Face Plant
It was October 20, 2015. I was preparing my special “boo baskets” and made my last trip to the dollar store. I only make three a year and have fun planning and purchasing the little cheap Halloween items to fill the baskets.

Time for Tea, Too
TIME FOR TEA, TOO Pete Seager wrote the legendary song, Turn, Turn, Turn. I’m sure many people (like me) sang along whenever we heard it playing. Likewise, I’m sure there are several people who, to them, the song was only a bunch of tossed-together words. When I was younger, I know I never once bothered to look up the true meaning of what the song’s meaning was.

Ice is nice
I know many of us suffer from aches and pains. Could be any number of reasons: arthritis, trauma, heavy lifting, vigorous exercise. Whatever the reason, you could end up with an achy body.

I Got You, Babe
As I sat on the pier, I watched the many anglers try their hardest to catch those elusive fish they hoped to bring home for dinner. Some were lucky to catch a few small fish but there were others who seemed determined to snag the lager ones.
