Pause, Fast Forward ... PLAY

Hello, it's me again.

No, not Lionel Richie -

Suzanna.

Just Suzanna. 

There I am below at about age 2 with my four siblings on our family farm along Garrison Creek in 1970. 



It's been almost four years since my last post and I have gotten many questions regarding why I haven't published in all that time. 

I have, just not here. 

But more importantly, I had to take care of life. 

In that four year's time there has been a WHOLE lot of life that happened. 

I almost died. (Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli)

I battled two Universities for the right to receive my 3 diplomas I earned - and finally got them.

Both my parents died within two weeks of each other. (Bowel Cancer and Parkinson's)

I moved into a house after apartment living for most of 8 years.

And I STILL had to raise my daughter by myself. 

And keep living.

That is why I am back here. 

To tell you stories about life happening right now here in the Whitewater Valley. 

I love to hear other people's stories. 

Listening to another human being - REALLY listening is the finest way I know to show your love for them. 

Basic human love. Being there and sharing the moment with them. 

It's where my heart is - writing other people's stories. 

This was a great idea and it is time for me to begin again.

I can tell you there are big changes coming up here that I think you will like and that will bring you to look in with every new post. 

Whitewater Valley Adventures will be more like an E-zine. 

I want to focus on life in general in the Whitewater Valley, while introducing you to happenings, and new people and ways of life you may not know exist here. 

There is a Facebook page to visit, if you like to do that sort of thing:

So...

Are you ready for some new adventures in the Whitewater Valley? 

I am. Let's GO!
