About Me

My photo
Monsoon Matriarch
Person generally interested in the simple mechanics, pleasures and management of a life of contentment and positive contributions without excess or complacency. I live in awe of God's creation and try not to be disheartened with what some are doing with their share of these gifts. What we have can be wrestled from us with little notice and needs our watchfulness. Army brat and Veteran. Country girl turned city girl, then back to country. Masters and bachelor's degrees in applied science from Michigan Tech and Dartmouth respectively. SITE DISCLAIMER: Products and retail outlets mentioned are based on my experiences with them. If I write something favorable, it is because I have had consistently good experiences. The buttons on the blog page are sites I endorse.
