I live in Jacksonville, FL. I am graphic designer, writer, photographer and published author. I am now taking those passions & putting them into a blog. I love birds & consider myself a “more than average” birder. I have 3 grown children & 7 grand children plus a grandchild dog named Memphis. I’m married to my soul mate and we have a dog named Heaven. We love to travel & get out somewhere most weekends.

Grapevine is rich in steam engine history and main street is like a blast from the past. It has gotten way too commercial for my taste. It was incredible when I lived there in the 80’s and not as many people. Now it is a huge tourist attraction and I hate driving down Main. If you know the town, my old hangout in high school was Willhoites and I was 18 as a senior (legal drinking age at that time). Six years ago when my mom passed away, I took my daughter to Willhoites to toast my mom and show my daughter a little piece of my past. Since the Botanical Gardens is down several blocks, it isn’t as congested as it is up on Main Street and a must stop for me when I visit.

I live in Florida but I am a Texan, born and bred. I graduated at Grapevine High School in 1984 and my mom and aunt lived there, just a few blocks from the park until my mom’s passing in 2014 and my aunt’s passing in 2018. I haven’t been back in 2 years. Most of my family lives in Texas. Are you in Texas?

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Boston. Would love to go to a baseball game there. Maybe someday. 😊
