Hi.

I’m a slow blogger, a fast kid-catcher (as Grandma Daycare), a carbon-sinner tree hugger, and a believer in both magic and science. I’ve lost two good men to heart attacks, my mom to Alzheimer’s, and my dad while he was living with me. So naturally, I’m blogging about gratitude. Also, writing essays about mistakes I make while celebrating life in northeastern Minnesota. My unpublished novel is about a crabby retired teacher who is either an earth angel in training or in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. My book, Hauling Water won some nice awards, including an IPPY. If you’re a Writer’s Agent, I could use your help.

Slow blogger, fast kid catcher—Daycare for my grandkids, award-winning author—IPPY bronze and Northeastern Minnesota BA. I write about gratitude, relationships, and nature from a northern Minnesota—almost Canada—perspective. Yes, it gets cold up here—long johns can be sexy.
