About Me
I've been romantically uprooted from the Philippine Islands by a Connecticut Yankee pen pal in 1973. Our via air mail love affair transported me 10,000 miles away into mainland, USA. Marriage and maintaining a standard of living took me away from writing but keeping a journal kept the embers alive and flickering through the years. Retirement was the answer.So, here I am, testing the waters, equipped with forty year journey, a keyboard, and on line connection to writing.com. Hooray, wannabee!
