About Me
I am a retired English teacher into my third year of retirement. I enjoy exercising, reading, dancing, laughing and loving. I exercise every morning from 5am until 7am. Some of my favorite authors are Jonathan Kellerman, James Patterson, Dan Brown and Patricia Cromwell. As you can tell, I enjoy the mystery genre. Writing poetry and enjoying nature are two of my other favorites. I have dogs, cats and Tennessee walking horses. I raised my two cats on the bottle after they had been abandoned by their mom when they were two days old. I packed my diaper bag and took the cats back and forth to school with me. Sometimes, I would find myself bottle feeding and teaching Chaucer or Shakespeare. Therefore, I consider myself adaptable to many situations!
