| Introduction | I grew up on a chicken farm in Maine in the '50s when it was almost possible to believe that life was good and would only get better for everyone. I say almost, because even then we had rumors of A-bombs. My favorite uncle built a bomb shelter. But children are full of life and do their best to ignore the ominous. I roamed the fields and woods on my own, playing private games and picking berries. I've hiked Mt. Katahdin seven times. I love a campfire story. I have raised my family and have, as a profession, helped young families with the problems of their lives. I lived for a decade among spiritual hippies. My book Sweet Potato Suppers is about that adventure. |
| Interests | People, personality, family life, community, green living, hiking, writing and reading, health. |
| Favorite Movies | I love comedies and could watch any of Mel Brooks' movies such as High Anxiety again any time. I'll add to this list. |
| Favorite Music | My favorite music is Spanish, especially Mariarchi. |
| Favorite Books | Colleen McCullock wrote a fabulous book about her ancestors, Morgan's Run. Richard Morgan is a man to admire and emulate. |
You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape.
I'll feed the goat the slinky. Goats will eat anything. Then I'll climb on the goat and she'll bounce us right up out of the well! This is just the sort of thing Swamp Walking Woman does in my mythic fairy tales of that title. Watch for it as an e-book.
