    About this ebook

    A simple autobiography that records, so far, a few of the authors joys, disappointments, insecurities, triumphs, and turning points that collectively became the nuts and bolts of her life and which she wrote with the sole intent that it would inform, intrigue, and perhaps inspire some of her future descendants to become writers themselves.

    An old-fashioned reminiscence and an affectionate evocation of the authors ongoing satisfaction with her life.

At present, she and her husband call Pittsboro, North Carolina, and Frisco, Colorado, home, although she’s far from ready to stay put and still feels a sense of wonder anywhere she travels in the world.
