June 2014

I have lived on four continents, battled invasive cancer, and owned/cheffed my own company for 15 years (I catered only to corporate jets.)

I raised Travis and Abby, two remarkable people (albeit both nerds) and did it basically single-handedly. (my prismacolor drawing phase)

In addition, I sustained the ultimate grief of having my son, Cam, die from meningitis... yet not lose my spirit in despair.

Along the way, I went to graduate school ...it was my "big night out" once a week. -- Ultimately, I was asked to teach in the program.

Widowed, I went to a full-time job with benefits... high school. (Sometimes it was like "herding cats." But, mostly it was interesting, challenging, and fun! ...the best "job" I've ever had.)

I recently retired and gave myself a gold watch (actually, a new camera.)

...my personality and philosophy are found in my photos!! Carpe Diem (or, in winter, Carpe Skiem)
