Bio
I am a librarian struggling with too many creative interests and a stack of books I will never finish. When my nose isn't in a book, I can be found writing, puttering in my craft room, or exploring nature through the lens of my camera.

Red or White?
The idea of a book club materialized over drinks with a few fellow teachers almost twenty five years ago. Each of us recruited a friend or two and the rest, as they say, is history. One evening a month, like clockwork, we come together at a different member’s home. With such a long history, a number of changes and evolutions have taken place in our structure and routines. However, one constant remains. Whenever I arrive at Book Club, the hostess will reliably, predictably, and faithfully greet me with the question: “Red or white?” These three simple words melt away the stress of the day, or even month. They are a signal that I am among friends and the next couple of hours will be nourishing mentally, spiritually and physically.

Otis
Without a doubt, Otis was a once-in-a-lifetime dog. When he came into our lives, our older dog, Hondo, was beginning to slow down. My husband argued that getting a younger dog might be good for him-- help keep him active-- but I wasn’t completely on board. Hondo had always been a lone soul. Besides, getting a new dog was bound to be a lot of work. However, when my mother-in-law needed surgery 400 miles away, my husband made the trip to be with her. When he returned, he surprised me with a bright-eyed little border collie. He says there was an animal shelter not far from the hospital, and well, he had a little down time. Since it was my birthday, he reasoned that Otis was my special gift, and I didn’t have time to be upset, because I took one look at his golden brown eyes and fell in love immediately.
