I'm a retired librarian. I wrote a weekly newspaper column for 10 years and now write essays and poetry on the OurEcho website (www.ourecho.com). I've created over 300 webpages on the Squidoo website.
-
I'm crazy about photography (wildlife, flowers, anything that I can capture with my camera).
-
I'm a book designer and love self-publishing family memoirs using blurb.com. Check out My Flint Hills Childhood by Gail Lee Martin on the site.

Hobbies and Interests: making webpages on Squidoo, gardening, reading, book reviewing, travel, golfing, writing, scrapbooking, crafts, collecting valentines, quilts, tindeco tins, and much more.

Favorite Movies and TV Shows: I love all the HGTV decorating shows and gardening programs. For movies, give me humor like Back to the Future, Chevy Chase in Vacation or Raising Arizona. Favorite Book: Whatever I'm reading now.
