About Me

Newcomer to Simmons and to Boston, and really enjoying both so far! I come from the NY area where most of my (very large) family lives. Here are some of my favorite things to do:

  • travel...anywhere
  • take pictures
  • paint (mostly with oils)
  • listen to Jack Johnson
  • reread my favorite books
  • go for afternoon tea!

I'm having fun getting to know Boston. Photography is sort of a hobby of mine, so I'm showing off a couple of my favorite pics from recent sightseeing. The graveyard here is the Granary Burial Ground...it was a gorgeous day and the light was just right. If you enlarge the one of the two tombstones you'll be able to read a neat inscription. By the way, Elisha Brown is one of my ancestors...just kidding...But seriously, here is an interesting page about the iconography of the gravestones.


Here's a link to a map of Boston with the Freedom Trail highlighted in red.

My Cuties

Here are two of my beautiful nieces. I have many more, but not enough time to put them all on!
