Where The Reindeer Keeper Began... 
There were 3 other houses besides ours sitting in a row along a country road that seemed to stretch forever when I was growing up. And inside those houses were aunts, uncles, cousins, dogs, cats and a grandmother nicknamed Giddy by my brother. This woman of French-Canadian heritage with hands that tilled the soil, cooked, baked, worked in the barn, canned, stacked wood, tended to babies, sewed, knitted, crocheted, cut old clothes into strips and braided them into rugs of all sizes was our mentor. Her strength was mighty; her wisdom-visionary; her beauty-breathtaking.
To say I was lucky to have fields to wander and a creek to explore doesn’t do justice to the backdrop nature provided. I was blessed. That stretch of road continues to influence me, for what was at my finger tips as a child remains with me today-coming out in bits and pieces in my Christmas story, “The Reindeer Keeper” to be released for the 2010 holiday season.
I invite you to follow my blog-meet my family; run with me and my cousins through corn fields and backfields; ride with us on our homemade rafts along Sucker creek or when it freezes, skate with us under millions of silver stars. Learn about our get-togethers and Giddy’s molasses cookies so big it took both my hands to hold one. Experience the serenity of Pine Tree Grove where cedar and pine grew in thickets. Play inside the old chicken coop-gutted and filled with the desks, books, and chalkboards of an abandoned one-room schoolhouse. It was
there-inside that old building with windows void of glass and a door that did not fit that Louisa May Alcott and Laura Ingalls Wilder-to name a few-were read. It was there that we played and imagined; drew and created. As you join me you’ll get to know me-where I come from and where I hope to take you through the pages of my book.
