She is a retired emergency room nurse and a Certified Poison Information Specialist. Now writing murder mysteries and blogging about life, family, and the fun of retirement. She feels that age is really just a number, and therefore, she's in the middle of her life, right where she should be. She belongs to Probus (a group of retired or semi-retired women that meet and socialize), does a lot of walking and occasional running, and takes classes in technology and business. She's healthier and busier than ever. Involved in her community, she helps where she can and is happier for it.

She enjoys following her own advice to stay healthy and happy. She writes blog posts about quick and easy recipes, her plans to walk the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago, and her reluctant gardener's advice on how to get the beauty of the garden without all the work.

Follow the adventure into her third act and join the fun.
