Ever wonder how others perceive you? Others may see me as a wife, mother, step-mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. What would I consider myself? Well, definitely all of the above, but I would add that I am a thinker, a writer, and a woman who has a lot to say. I just want my voice to be heard. This is my spot to state what I think and believe. These are My Thoughts from my Window on the River.

September Events


Already the sixth day of September, where did the summer go?  Since Labor Day signals the end of summer, that means it is time to go back to work. With fall come the smells of autumn and the harvest of all our summer labor. 
The fall festivals and craft fairs open for their guests to appreciate the wares offered.
I have started a busy season of writing and visits with readers. I have set up several events in the area and would enjoy an opportunity to meet you there.
