| Introduction | My profile photo shows me holding a 3-4 week old baby Black Bear. Just goes to show life is full of surprises. I was born in Vancouver, BC, Canada, 1st of 5 children, I'm the only girl. Met my husband in church where he was packing his parachute in the hall while I was at choir practice; married 50 yrs, 3 children, 4 grandchildren, all in B.C. Moved to Smithers in 2006 and love it. I have run the gamut of girl friday for Customs agency, pay office clerk for Longshoremen, hobby then pig farmer, retail clerk, University Professors' assistant until retirement. Moved from New Westminster, where coincidentally my maternal grandmother was born in 1892! We moved to the rural district west of Smithers in northern BC and joined the wildlife. The rest is history. I absolutely feel at home here. Since I turned 70 my whole life has changed. I've enjoyed the friendship of the Northern Lights Wildlife Refuge members and all the work they do with wildlife rescue, particularly the bears. I enjoy everything book. Am currently a proofreader, have done some light editing, review books and occasionally do some writing in between. The only thing I haven't done yet is get back to ice-skating! |

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
A banana peel is easier to launch, it just goes slip-slidin' away. A wet sock will fall like a rock.
