About me

Gender Female
Location Heartland, United States
Introduction I'm a woman who's not interested in being controversial---there's enough of that out there. My intention here is to take you off to La-La-Land. Grab your cup of coffee, relax, and join me for some 'No Brain Drain' subjects, musings, my art work, and my photos. Oh, I might go off on a minor rant now and then, but that's about as serious as this will get. I'll also touch on my Christian faith and how it shapes my life and perspective on the world today.
Interests Art, photography, writing, dreaming, flower gardening, grandchildren, creating on line digital books, reading biographies, The Weather Channel, HGTV, and schleping around with a cup of coffee and some pastry.
Favorite Movies Chocolat, Out of Africa, Under the Tuscan Sun, Green Card, and ones that feature the English, Italian, or French countryside. Since I'm so cash starved, that is how I 'travel'.
Favorite Music Smooth jazz, blues, Keiko Matsui, Diana Krall, Andrea Bocelli, Jane Monheit, and all time faves, The Beatles, Janis Joplin
Favorite Books Rosemond Pilcher's books, The Secret Garden, The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts, West With The Night by Beryl Markham, Won by Love by Norma McCorvey (Roe V. Wade), Bible, art books, decorating books and magazines, biographies, and autobiographies. I like fiction, but feel guilty reading it as I feel like I'm wasting my time... I've got to get over that, don't I?
