North of 70, I'm the oldest of seven children, which means when you count all the spouses and children, all the way through the greats, we have some very large and lively family gatherings. I'm no expert on anything, even myself, so I write about almost anything that catches my attention. My special interests are varied and include literacy and reading, autism, Downs Syndrome, depression, PTSD, domestic violence, and child abuse. I am an animal lover - except for snakes, a loud and proud native Texan, a progressive Christian, a moderate/centrist when it comes to politics, and a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan.
