I was born in upstate NY, and lived in small towns there for the first 4 decades of my life. In 1993 I moved to Colorado where I met my husband. In 2014 we moved again, this time to Mesa, Arizona. No more snow for me! And yes, to everyone who asks, we Have been here in the summer. As I always say, "no matter how hot it gets, you never have to shovel heat!' I am a poet, writer, liver-of-life, joy-giver and joker. Come along and explore the world through my eyes!
