About

Hmmmm…I’m 56 and work full time as  an adult and graduate enrollment advisor. I started this blog in lieu of a journal.

My husband and I — both longtime newspaper journalists — own and manage two online news sources, The Bluffton Icon and The Ada Icon, so we do a fair amount of writing. We have two daughters (27 and 29), two significant 0thers-in-law, and a 4-year-old rescue Schnauzer named Ike.

I’m a runner (35 years plus), swimmer, seamstress, gardener, bicyclist, and — when time allows — I love to spend time in the kitchen.

Happy reading — if you enjoy something, or dislike something, please leave a comment.

  1. What a delight! You must be Fred’s wife? I have spent a haf hour reading from today, backwards – as far as I can get for now.
    But, I will return – this is great fun! And I, too, journal….but must, after reading yours, be more positive, less introspective. I like this better.

      Yes, Jean, I am married to Fred. I hear you’re the twin of Chuck’s friend. Glad to hear you’re enjoying this thing. I’m not always positive — sometimes quite the opposite. 🙂

    As a former Blufftonite, I enjoy reading the Bluffton Icon and your musings; very picturesque. There’s always something that brings back memories.
