About Me

I‘m an elderly lady with three grown children, two teenage granddaughters, two great grandkids, and two cats. I work on my three blogs and my poetry website, and write poems. I also do lots of container gardening on my deck and porch. I have rheumatoid arthritis and somewhat housebound. Most  importantly, I am a Jehovah’s Witness and spend many hours writing letters as a way to give encouragement to all.  Thank you for taking the time to stop by and find out a little bit about me. It would be nice if you could leave a comment to tell me about you and your blog.   Best regards, Eileen.

The Memorial of 2024

When I was in second grade my aunt gave me a little book of poems called, “A Child’s Garden of Verses” written by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was one of my gifts that didn’t interest me much so I put it on the shelf in my room and never gave it another thought for many months. I can’t tell you how much time had passed before I discovered the little blue book on my shelf and decided to open it up and take a look. I loved the poems and read them often. I was always rhyming things in my head as a child but never wrote them down. I have a slight learning disability, did poorly in school, and quit the day I turned sixteen. When I turned to the age of 43 I went to night school and got my GED. For many years I kept busy as most do with taking care of home and family, friends and pets and working outside the home. I did keep up with my painting and they made nice gifts to give to my friends.

Now I’m old and crippled with rheumatoid arthritis so I created a couple of websites and write poems. My poems are not sophisticated or brilliant, just simple writings filled with memories of my childhood, my imagination, my experiences in life, and my plight with arthritis. I love my poems and don’t mind saying so. 

I am published on the websites below
