I am happy that after 21 years of retirement, I am fully engaged and am contributing to my      family, immediate community, and region

 

I am thrilled that I have a site on the internet where I can post samples of my writing. Writing is one of the most important things I do. I write about my nature experiences in essay and poetry. I believe that my writing is a “force for the environment”( Max Wheat comment)
