As a busy grandmother of 16 grandchildren who all (but one) live within 50 miles I know I am extremely blessed.  I also live in one of the best parts of the United States, a rural area of  the northeast corner of  Washington State where we see wildlife everyday: bald eagles, deer, heron, etc. One of the biggest blessings is that I have the health and energy to keep up with the kids.

   I am a writer, working on a historical novel and expanding that into giving presentations on women from history. 

  Having an internet business gives me the time and freedom to pursue all these activities plus gardening, hiking, canoeing and cross country skiing.

  I love life and enjoy helping others to do the same.
