Happily married for many years now with children and grandchildren. An amateur writer and artist with no formal education in the fields nor do I desire for any such thing. I write, draw and paint because it is fun and relaxes me. Besides the silly stories I tell entertain my grandchildren and nieces and nephews. In conclusion it is just plain fun to create and tell stories to willing listeners especially at holidays or out camping and etc... My philosophy is work hard when your young and learn to live, love, laugh alot, play alot and dream. Always dream and always follow those dreams.
