Just short of fifty years of holy matrimony, I am blessed to be a mother of two and grandmother of seven. Much of my writing speaks to the culture and tradition of the Deep South, where I spent the first thirty-five years of my life before relocating to the Pacific Northwest. As a poet and essayist, I’ve published both online and in print media. In mid-February 2019, I launched Roses in the Rain: A Daughter's Story, following a successful couple years of Invitation to the Garden, both on WordPress.com. Watch for upcoming installments to the memoir blog every Tuesday. The garden posts follow on Friday/Saturday. I look forward to hearing from you all!

I’ve been to the gardens at Malmaison…lots of blues and soft yellows…and roses, of course! My favorite part of the house was Napoleon’s bedroom, which was done in red and to mimic his army camp tent, all draped and angled but very, very elegant.
A place I’d love to visit. I have been to La Pagerie in Martinique where Josephine, or Rose as she was then called grew up. But the home of so many glorious roses must be worth visiting
