Introduction A writer, an artist, a crafter trying to share what I hope to achieve. Looking for serenity...defining what's important. A patchwork life lived in many places has cost me focus and I put my thoughts together here, trying to make sense of it all. Join me, settling back in Africa and continuing the journey...The wild places fascinate me and as a storyteller, I yearn to spread the magic... On the other end of the spectrum, the wild places of Cyberland are just as exciting and as this ex-technophobe branches out, I'll share that too! Your input, insights and comments are always valuable, I value your feedback...Come, say Hi; my email address is just below...

The children are waiting! Please tell them the story about the bald frog with the wig:

Freddy, knowing frogs are bald, took the tiny blond wig and wove a little net to catch some juicy flies. He took these to his dearest lady-frog Fiona. So he won her heart and they lived happily ever after on the big, blue pond where they first met. Freddy and Fiona had many froggy babies, tiny tadpoles, and the net made of wig worked so well that there was plenty of food for them all.
