About

My name is Barbara (like many of my generation, before Barbie Dolls ruined the name). I am a rated Scrabble player , I have a PhD in English, I work full time, I have three grown kids, I have a pink bike, I like to garden, I am active in my neighborhood association, I was a vegetarian for 20 years, but recently I decided that meat smelled good and have started eating chicken and fish. Sometimes I like to cook. I have been married for 36 years, and I like to say that those years have been the best 34 years of my life (there are 2 I want to forget!)
