The Scoop
I’m a compulsive story-teller, traveler, and retired baby boomer (don’t hate me – I feel younger than I look). I grew up a ranchers’ kid in Northern California, but for the last ten years I’ve been living the dream in an old farmhouse near Boise.
Because I love the American West with its rich heritage and traditions, that’s the primary (but not the only) lense I look through. The people, places, and values I grew up with here sustain and motivate me even as I reach out to understand and experience new places, people, and cultures.
Wife to Rich (the Professor), mother to Meg (the Realtor), step-mother-in-love to Erick (our Corporate Whizkid) mother-in-love to Jordan (the Blackhawk Pilot) and Karen (our Uber Girl), and proud Mama to various wonderful G-Kids here and in Alabama, I’m always bringing home strays – human and otherwise. We share a place with exceptional dogs and ornery horses.
Life is good. I’m passionate about family, friends, faith, horses, travel, cooking (and eating), winetasting, and finding answers to my why questions. I write about them all.
Thanks for visiting!
