I'm just a lady that enjoys my family and friends...the beauty of nature, simple pleasures like chess, finding joy in the ordinary, encouraging someone, lending a listening ear, providing a helping hand, and giving a smile.

"Chess is a way of life.  It slays boredom and exhilarates the spirit.
You're always thinking, always in present time.  You know you're alive.
You're always being challenged and threatened . There is no social purpose,
only the joy of trying to create a pocket of beauty in a noisy world."
