UPStar on HubPages

Ever since I could hold Crayolas in my chubby toddler fingers I have been writing. I first filled notebooks upon notebooks, then journals, then blogs, and now here I am at Hubpages, ready to fill the internet with more words!

I have written proffessionally as a columnist for a local newspaper, as a radio newswriter, and as a contracted freelance writer for yet another local newspaper

I am married to a real cutie named Charlie, and we are expending enormous amounts of energy raising five  rapidly growing and refrigerator-depleting youth. I also have two married daughters, one who has graciously contributed two grandgirls, the other who needs to occassionally be reminded I am still waiting for more...

 I live in the rustic beauty of Michigans Upper Peninsula on the shores of  Lake Superior where I write fun, faith-filled, and informative pieces.
