About Me

Chris: I retired from teaching nine years ago and then spent almost four years as a children's librarian/aide at the public library, I missed teaching, so.... I've taken a job as School Librarian at a private K-8 school, and I'm so excited! I've taught fourth and fifth grades, middle school literature, and college-level children's literature. Originally from New England, I lived and taught on the coast of Maine for many years, then spent 14 years in the glorious sunshine of Tucson, Arizona, before moving eight years ago to south central Pennsylvania - a new adventure! I adore my kids, my grandkids (I got married at "age 9"), my students, books and reading, quilts and quilting, yarn and knitting, papercrafts and altering books, genealogy, letterboxing, watching movies on the "big screen" - and hitting the road to adventure far and wide. I hate to cook and love to eat. I finally got to visit my 49th state last year (yay!! and it was awesome) so that leaves only one to go ... soon, I hope, soon.....
