About me

Occupation Retired but still farm and serve as a lay minister.
Location Saskatchewan, Canada
Introduction "the tide has caught me at my foolish pastime, writing down my name too near the sea... but the sea remembers and sings back from the depths where nothing is forgotten." (With apologies to Browning and Whyte)
Interests Grandchildren, theology, books, travel, gardening, cooking, Edwardian Era, Nantucket in the 1800s, clipper ships, blueprints of old houses, sewing, writing, continuing education
Favorite Movies Monalisa Smile comes to mind. This story takes place in 1959 which I lived through as a child. No one in my family had ever graduated from college or university at that time.
Favorite Music Very eclectic mix. The recent PBS Country Music series has made me aware of what a big part country music has had in the background music of my life.
Favorite Books Right now a great favourite is A Gentleman in Moscow.
