When I first began writing, I was a mother struggling with an empty nest. To fill the time I turned to cooking up a storm and unloading my thoughts onto the computer. The nest I thought was empty is full. I have a flock of grandkids, a loving husband, and the gift of success. While I continue to develop recipes and sail the seas with Captain My Way, I am happiest fussing over a manuscript.

What's going on in my life right now... Aug 2010
Gil and I are enjoying a wonderful boating season here in New England. The weather has been perfect plus, enabling us to travel in fogless, friendly waters. We spent the Fourth of July holiday in Block Island with friends on 4 other boats, then sailed to Newport for a weekend of IYRS (International Yacht Restoration Society) events. From there, we cruised to Cuttyhunk--and home. Dear friends, the golden kind, ventured north from their home in Naples, FL to spend time with us aboard. Last week, we had our 11 year old grandson all to ourselves and got him started with beginning sailing lessons at Mystic seaport.
