Well, I might just be dyslexic English teacher. I’m definitely a spinster, a crone, a story junkie, and a teacher—or as I like to put it, A Shaper of Minds.

Half my heart will always be in eastern Oregon and the other half will live at The Coast (Oregon and Washington). Even though I’m a native to the PNW, I use umbrellas.

This time around, I’m just doing my best to: talk about my life and what I find interesting; tell my versions of the stories I teach or love or both that are very public domain; and maybe give some context for what I teach.
