Born on an early sunny Summer's day, my disposition had already been shaped and molded .. into the Sunny Smiley person you see portrayed! I was number 5 of 8 children .. sort of a shared 'middle child' position. We were poor so I didn't grow up with fancy clothes or go on fancy vacations even locally nor did I have very many friends.. but, I did fall in love with drawing/colouring and most of all .. I fell in love with writing, very early on in my life, and had great supportive encouragement given me by a wonder teacher in 6th grade. But, being an extremely shy and introverted person, I never did anything with any of what I had written; all of which is now and forever lost, gone .. and sadly, mostly all forgotten. I renewed my writing on and off back in the latter part of the 1990's
