About Me

Describe Yourself:

I am a little argumentative. I love being with family and friends, but I need time to myself. I love to read. I am an amateur romance writer. I like to swim. I've been married 25 years and all my little birdies have left the nest. I like to cook. I like to eat out when I don't want to cook --which is a lot of the time. I am an insomniac. I love a good cup of coffee, fresh roasted, fresh ground, fresh brewed. I like real people who don't have ulterior motives. --Well, I guess that about covers it.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

an opportunity to write and communicate my thoughts, as well as to meet others who share the same need

Dena, I just read your profile and liked what I read. We seem to be in sinc. with reading, writing, and the arts. You may want to read my novel, Man on the Balcony, a love story about courage and following your dream. The main character, Maggie, is a young woman in search of fulfillment in the artistic world and in matters of the heart. I'd like to be one of your "friends".

Just viewed your profile. When I was in my early teens a friend of my Mom and Dad's gave me a nice blouce from Okinawa. The lady is from Okinawa, she came to the states during or after the war. I can some times understand what she is saying. She speeks so fast. Anyway makes you think how small the world is.
