I write poetry and prose for both children and adults. My completed historical novel, PASSAGES, is currently undergoing editing. I am hoping to secure an agent within the next year. Although that would seem time-consuming enough, I also do a lot of knitting, crocheting, and photography (though I have to admit I am rather an amateur at it). I have five grandchildren who manage to keep me young and sometimes exhausted. They have allowed me different perspectives on the world, some of which show through in my writing. My husband, Mel, is retired and loving the freedom of working and/or playing at his own pace. He runs (long, long, runs) and has competed in a half-marathon. He is currently training for a full marathon. I confess I am not as dedicated. Occasionally I will run a couple of miles, but my heart just isn’t in like his seems to be. I enjoy gardening, as will be seen in the photos of my flower islands, and I have been known to sew doll clothes and furniture slipcovers. Life at my house is never dull.
Nicely designed blog
Congratulations on a terrific blog. Glad I have a friend who has all this talent.
Your blog looks great! I’m still trying to find time to learn about blogging to get mine up and running. It’s been raining horrendously in Missouri and our newly renovated barn/home is not fond of water.
I’m waking up at 4:30am everyday to write, and I begin with Philippians 2:13. I’ve transitioned from dragging myself out from warm covers to loving the tranquil period. I look foreward to it now.
Exciting things have blossomed from the conference. God is awesome!
Great to find you on the web.

PS- I had no idea your photography skills parallel your writing talent!
Terri, I was just messing around online and discovered my blog listed in your blogroll. Thanks! I am guessing you must be part of the writers group with Irene and Joe and Patti? I look forward to looking through your blog… lots of good stuff on here!
Hi Kelly-
Yes, you’re right–Irene, Joe and Patti are in my writing group. Thanks for finding my blog! It’s great fun to read what other bloggers write.
Terri,
Jill M. referred me to your site as I am compiling spiritual poetry to be displayed in the GR Art Museum on April 2. Wondering if you’d give permission (with full credit of course) to include “God’s Paint”. Please let me know. You can contact me at pr@artmuseumgr.org THanks!

Hi Terri, great to meet you at the conference in Muncie. Hope the inspiration lasts for us for quite a while! Blessings, Christa
Terri–Just checking out your website and wanted to say it is beautiful! I could while away my whole afternoon reading and looking at the gorgeous pictures. I hope as summer turns to fall that you find some time to fit in your writing. So nice to meet you in Muncie.
Dear Terri: What a wonderful website…I read through your poetry and saw your beautiful photographs on nature…wow …very moving…I truly enjoyed your thoughtful poems and you are to be congratulated for being so talented. And you also do crochet and knit…I haven’t gotten there yet…I can only embroider…(something my mom taught us as children…growing up in the country…in Granger before we moved into the city of Granger…) I still remember you and our High School…wow …so many years.
Anyhow…KUDOS and more to you for your dedication and willingness to share your talent with others…many blessings to you and your family in the coming year!..your friend…Eva
Mrs. DeVries,
How fun to browse around your site. When you are a child you have no idea what life might lead to. I just remembe yummy chicken & cheese on buns and chocolate chip cookies. How amazing to see God’s giftings in you be expressed in such beautiful ways. Can’t wait to continue seeing and reading!
