Thank you for coming by and entering my giveaway during OWOH! I hope you enjoy the event, and visiting everyone. I got my BA just a bit over a year ago, at the age of 44! So I know how it is to be an older student -- and I loved every minute of it!
I split my time between my history research, my family, and my pets. I enjoy working on history - whether it's on the 19th century or family. The photo of me is a bit of history - I was four! I also delight in both written and artistic journals, knitting, design, and the written word, whether I'm reading it or writing it. I also adore the design of the mid-twentieth century. I am a student of history, particularly an obscure little battle in Lewisburg, West Virginia in 1862 (of course, the town was in Virginia at the time). My grandchildren keep me young and at the same time, constantly remind me how very much I wish my late husband was here to see them, too. My dog and cats keep me busy as well, but are worth every effort!
Nancy Drew and Dana Girls Mysteries - "Carolyn Keene" (Mildred Wirt Benson and others)

The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America - Thurston Clarke
