About Me

I am a soulless non-hiker, a shutterbug, another mother for peace, a wordsmith, a middle-aged groupie, a world-class dabbler, a social butterfly, a flagrant bookworm, a naturalized Texan, a mother hen, a serial artist, a truth teller, a bless-your-hearter, a shoe shopper, a Show Me Stater, a neo-retro-singleton, a born-again webfoot, a lapsed mackerel snapper, a laptop addict, a coffee cup collector and the youngest of the Shaw girls.
