"A Smile is a Universal Welcome" *

And with that, I give you my brightest smile and welcome you to my blog.

As a former newspaper reporter/editor in a small town in Indiana, I was paid to observe and write about local goings-on. City council meetings, county commissioner meetings, barn fires, snow falls, gas prices -- you name it, I covered it. (It was serious stuff.)

I loved that job, but my pride and joy was my "Girl Reporter" column. (It was not so serious stuff!)

I did in that column what I will do here: write about the things I think and the things I see, the things I wonder and the things I learn. (And you will probably learn of the twisted way my mind works.) Here, though, I will also write about what I'm writing now and what I'll be writing next.

Before, I had a column. Now I have a blog. Someday soon I will have more published works. If you keep reading, you will be among the first to know!

So again, a smile and welcome.
