Our GR Group Lunch in Ellicott City, MD. We had a great time, meeting each other, talking smut and books. Whether you were an author, reader or blogger or all three, the free shooters the bartender sent in to us was enjoyed and appreciated by all.

At over 50, I am ruled by my terriers, my gardens, and my projects. A knack for grubbing about in the woods, making mud pies, and tending to the injured worms, bugs, and occasional bird and turtle growing up eventually led me to working for the Parks. I was a park Naturalist for over 20 years, and observing Nature and her cycles still occupy my hours. From the arrival of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in the Spring to the first call of the Snow Geese heading south in the Fall, I am entranced by the seasons. For more about me see my bio on my blog.
