If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough. – Mario Andretti

Hey guys! Welcome to my site!

Pull up a chair and set a spell. You look like you could use a change of pace and a big glass of sweet tea.

Here’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. I was born some time ago, in Fayetteville, Arkansas.   I grew up a few miles north of there, in Springdale.  Now, Springdale was famous for just one thing back then, CHICKENS.

I have one sister, Wava.  We always fought when we were younger, but I don’t know what I would do without her, now.  She is married to Bill and they have one son, Michael.  I’m was tickled when my nephew got a PHD in Physics from Baylor.  Now we know where all the academic talent in the family ended up.

Myself, I went to the University of Arkansas. “GO HOGS!” I majored in Band, and spent most of my time trying to figure out why I was in college

Almost three year ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. When you are undergoing Chemotherapy, you have to spend an ungodly amount of time sitting in a recliner with lots of other folks doing the same thing. I guess the confinement caused something in my brain to change, because I started writing to pass the time.  I wrote at the clinic and anytime I didn’t feel too bad while I was at home.

I had dabbled at writing before, but had never really written anything substantial. Now, I can’t seem to stop.   I only wish I had found that door in my brain and unlocked it sooner.  Along with my desire to write, I also acquired a wicked sense of humor, which pops out unexpectedly.  I hope you enjoy getting blindsided by a laugh.

Writing has made my life interesting.  Anyway, if my stories bring a little humor and enjoyment into your life then I have accomplished my goal.
