Someone once asked what I would do with one last day on this Earth. Yikes - big question! I found it surprisingly easy to answer. I would spend the day outside with my family, surrounded by nature's beauty. What a world God has created!

"Goodnight, Campsite" was my debut children's book. Lots of learning and mistakes in that little book, but it was a start and I believe in starts. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." -- Lao Tzu
