2008 - Gone Sledding!

My grandson, Jon, hitting the trails

At five, I knew I was going to be a writer, so I taught myself to read. That simple act opened a door to a world full of adventures and places I could only imagine. I wanted it all--for real, so I'd be able to write about it too.

At fifteen I decided to do everything in life at least once. There are still lots of things on my list, but I have managed to accomplish quite a few. I've worked at 45 different things for pay, including barrel racing, cake decorating, reupholstering furniture, serger sewing machine mechanic, snowmobile racing, storytelling, teaching, editing, travelling saleslady, and more.

I've planted a tree in the Malaysian rainforest, danced with the headhunters of Borneo, snowmobiled 3000 feet up a mountainside across a "terrace," ridden horseback through the mountains in Yellowstone and Tennessee, ziplined 800 feet from one mountain to another, paddled whitewater rapids, floated miles through an underground river (by the way, I can't swim), and generally, taken every opportunity life threw at me--plus made more than a few of my own.

Join me on my journey...
