I'm about to turn 50 and experiencing a bit of the mid-life crisis but I am determined to not give up. Writing is the expression of my soul. College grad, former corporate slave. My husband and I live on five acres in the house his gr gr grandpa built in 1852 and I assure you it will end up in my articles. We love our babies, children weren't in God's plan, but we have 5 dogs, 2 cats, chickens, and 18 pygymy goats...all horrendously spoiled. I'm not working outside the house right now but, gee, I do stay busy. Love to cook and study food. I am an avid recycler. You should see the chicken yard we just built from used pvc, an old swingset, used lumber...with purchased chicken wire and a few 2x2's. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
