Welcome Reader:

Whether you've just now tuned in to my life, or have been keeping up with my inner thoughts for quite some time now,
I welcome you.

Though you may or may not be entertained by my thoughts, it is for MYSELF that I pen a blog.

As a writer, I enjoy expressing myself.
When I write long romance novels, I am inside my head so much, I forget to focus on reality.

By writing once and a while on my blog, when the mood hits me, I have the freedom to come and go.
To pull up a chair and order lemonade or an ice cream sundae.
To either gobble it down, or eat it ever so slowly...

...until it melts into a concoction that resembles mushy milk.

Pull up a chair! Have a read. I hope you enjoy it.
I do...and that's what really matters.

My Great Aunt Velma

This is my aunt...actually my great aunt. She is my Nana's sister.
Nana is gone to heaven,
but her sister, my great aunt, remains.

My great aunt is like a grandmother to me. Sometimes I believe, more like a grandmother than a great aunt.

I was a dutiful granddaughter to my Nana, but to my aunt, I am a gracious, great niece. Gracious, becasue she makes it all right to be me.

We can sit for hours, talk, laugh, giggle, and tell a multitude of secrets.
Secrets I never felt comfortable telling others.
Secrets she doesn't repeat.

This is my great aunt...she is really GREAT!
Love ya, Great Aunt Velma!
