I graduated with honors from the University of Phoenix in my late fifties, earning both an Associates and Bachelors degree in Communications. My hobbies are numerous and varied including reading, drawing, painting, crafts, sewing, and writing, among others. I have a childlike nature and a vivid imagination. I have made up and told thousands of stories to younger siblings, children, and grandchildren among others in my lifetime. It was the grandchildren who first put the idea of publishing into my head. I dedicate this to them.view less
