Hello, and thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you'll return often and always find something of interest about my world and what inspires me to pick up a pen. (This is a figure of speech, unfortunately. My handwriting is terrible!) Here's what I've been up to recently...

However, the huge buffet (of which you can only see a small part in the photo) and the opportunity to catch up with many dancing friends was a great consolation.
