Edith and I are wrapping up our tour of Utah and Arizona. Besides the national parks, our travel led us to the family histories we uncovered in our talks while driving. Food for thought and further writing. By the way, one of my personal essays, "Windy Acres," is slated to appear in a forthcoming anthology of Wyoming writers, titled Blood, Water, Wind, and Stone. Our editor is arranging "gala events" of readings and appearances in a number of Wyoming locales. More on that later.
Below is a p...

Though I now live in Wyoming, I make frequent return trips to California with visits to travel club members along the way. At home I play classical guitar, enjoy gardening and cooking, and participate in group yoga. Getting together with family and friends is high on my agenda. I value people who write or make music and love it when my adult children and their offspring play their instruments, sing songs with me, or discuss what they read and write. Such gatherings help me cope with the losses in my life, which have been severe. Next year I hope to visit family in Germany.
