About me

Gender Female
Occupation Mother, daughter, sister, wife and then I became a Grandma.
Location Small Town, Montana, United States
Introduction I am a child of God. And while I don't always live up to His expectations, I try to remember who I am. I am a Latter Day Saint woman who knows what she knows but doesn't always fit into the round holes, given I'm a multi-faceted peg.

I am a cancer survivor.

I have FM/CFS/ME. I deal with the pain of these best I can.

I'm bipolar.

These conditions color every aspect life in some way, every single day of my life.

I'm married to a good man. Fish Whisperer, so dubbed by those he helps learn to catch fish. I used to avidly fly fish with him until my bad body got in my way. We are growing old together content knowing our life is good and eternity is waiting.

Life changes saw our daughter, Curly Top, and her daughter, Dimples, back home with us in May of 2011. Dimples turned 2 shortly after arriving here and we are delighted to have them. Dimples has brought wonder back to my life. Life is not as quiet, nor as neat and tidy.

We live near a quiet little hamlet that is on the way to somewhere, but very close to excellent trout water.

Interests Grandmothering, anything that involves sticks and string... Knitting, crocheting, stitching, tatting etc., reading, fly fishing, on occasion I paint something.s

You're going to the moon! What did you forget to pack?

Nothing. I always over pack. I make lists weeks before I have to travel and am usually packed a week before I leave. I never forget anything on a trip. Ever. I brought what forgot to pack for you...
