Colorful Montana sunset Sunflowers make any day a little brighter. First time I experience vaccine side effect. I received both flu and Covid on Oct. 1st. Pretty sure it’s the Covid vaccine that had me laid up for 30hrs with chills, severe fatigue, and overall ickiness rotating Tylenol and Advil round the clock.  My right arm was super sore, whereas my left arm was barely noticeable. Toward the mountain! Headed to Canada. The stunning Rocky Mountains! The magic of Glacier National park. Hiking Glacier National Park. Colorful Montana sunset ICM attempt: Fireweed, fall and silver tree trunks

My first book is on Amazon !

It highlights the story of my family's leaving Lebanon and making a life for us in South Carolina. It’s an easy, quick read which was well received as evidenced by its Amazon reviews. It will make you smile, may bring about a tear or trigger a beautiful buried memory of your own childhood.
