Greetings Friends! Welcome to me new web site. Let me begine by telling you a little about myself. I'm a homebody. On a cold, wintery day where it's warm and cozy, I enjoy a hot cup of cofee, herbal tea, or diet Coke as I write. I share an upstairs office with my husband Ross, my sweeheart of  35 years. We have three cute dogs who have beds in our office--Hayley, Abby and Skippy. Cindy short for Cinderella, our kitty's whole domain is the  downstairs. She is a great mouser and loves my son Will, who is living at home and going to college. Our youngest, daughter Sarah lives in Irving, Texas and is in a serious relationship, and our oldest son Matt is in the US Army. He's been in six years and is on his way to Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska with his wife Barbara and daughter Hope.  We live in Oklahoma with its lovely four seasons. I love fall and spring best. When it's warm we like to cook outside and watch the dogs play in the backyard or be with our families. We recentyly started attending the All Souls Episcolpal Church in McAlester, Oklahoma. The church family is really friendly and has made us feel welcome. I love old movies and watch TCM when I watch TV, and I love to read or listen to audiobooks. And, nothing's better than keeping in touch with old friends which the Internet has made much easier.  Home means family and friends. I hope to make new friends with the new website, and I'll be posting pictures of our family and friends.

I recently joined Weight Watchers and a nice gym and hope to be able to become healthier. I want to be able to able to get rid of some of the medications I take.

I've wanted to be a writer most or by life. My mom introduced me to books early and took us to the library frequently. It's time that I pay hommage to some of the authors that have inspired me--Water Farley, Marguerite Henry, Albert Payson Terhune, S.E. Hinson, Owen Wister, biography and history writers, Robin Cook, Patricia Cornwell, Tess Gerritsen, Nora Roberts, Eleanor Hibbert (wrote under several psydonyms-Jean Plaidy, Victoria Holt, Phillipia Carr), Peggy Fielding, Sue Monk Kidd (before she was famous), C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Nora Roberts, Debbie Macomber and Diana Galbadon. I also have to pay tribute to Gene Roddenberry for creating Star Trek and George Lucas for Star Wars and Indiana Jones for creating a universe to explore.
