I am a woman proud to be 72 years old, a working woman, a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother; an artist, a writer of stories and poetry. I try to surround myself with beauty... such things as flowers, plants, art objects, paintings, etc. and keep my mind in a peaceful place. I love my wonderful family and friends and I love my life...every blessed moment of it.
