College Educator. Secondary Educator in middle grades and high school English. Beachcomber. Desert girl. Weimaraner mom. Nona. Sold out for Jesus.

I’m a simple person–literature, writing, teaching, grandbabies, coastal North Carolina, Tucson Arizona, Weimaraners, and lots of delicious Thai and Chinese food make my world a happy place. After living off and on between Tucson, Arizona and areas of North Carolina, my husband and I now live permanently in the coastal area of North Carolina.
