Gearing up has begun!

I have had such a great morning trolling around the blogs of fellow writers!  I especially love all the different blog looks.  While I was doing that, however, I realized I did not post my mini bio..  So here it goes!
I a live in a tiny town in Washington.  We have a post office, grocery store, and bar.  We are an agricultural area so orchards surround me.  Although they are pulling them out and planting grapes so we could become the wine capital soon.  I have three dogs, one is a new puppy, who has made me discover how to undo many wrongly pushed buttons on my computer.  I have two sons.  The oldest I just sent off to college.  he is playing football, so I have  a five hour drive every Saturday to watch him.  My husband and I are getting to know eachother better and better as we are stuck alone in the car.  My other son is 16 and has Aspergers, but is super smart and is going to community college this year.  I am a second grade teacher.  I speak Spanish, poorly...but I do it.  :)  I began writing 5 years ago after suffering a life threatening case of Staph in my sinus cavity.  Put the world into perspective!  The infection affected the language area of my brain and the writing helps me to exercise it and reprogram the beautiful words I struggle to find when I am speaking.
