About

I am just an ordinary 58 year old woman having extraordinary fun!  My fun right now includes:

• barefoot and minimalist running, see funfitnessafter50.com
• swimming and having a new pool in my back yard, see funfitnessafter50.com
• triathlon training and learning not to be terrified on a bike, see funfitnessafter50.com
• gardening on my acre and in my greenhouse, (see dailyimprovisations.com)
• discovering how to be a grandma (going by the grandma name of “Lulu”),
• sewing, but never completely following the instructions (mostly dailyimprovisations.com, unless a project is particularly related to another)
• studying Mandarin Chinese, see funlearningchinese.com
• exploring the concepts of political freedom and responsibility (here at thehappyhomeschool.com)
• learning about the stock market, economics, and accounting (also here at thehappyhomeschool.com)
• non-institutional Christian fellowship (in the Bible News Press category on thehappyhomeschool.com)
• food storage and cooking (also on dailyimprovisations.com)
• raising chickens in spite of the predators (dailyimprovisations.com)
• occasional traveling, (dailyimprovisations.com or funfitnessafter50.com, depending on the level of adventure!)
• and, of course, I enjoy writing!

My husband and I have graduated from raising our seven children to adulthood; now we can enjoy family life in a whole different way.  I attempt to have a flexible routine, well peppered with daily improvisations because, although I like to plan, there is nothing like living life now! disclosures.
