Mrs. Mouse's Master Bedroom

I was born in The United States, in Michigan, but have lived all over the country.
For a few years I lived in Germany as well.

I've held many jobs in the course of all that wandering.
I've worked in factories, bars, restaurants, and bakeries,
and sold books and cosmetics door to door in the rain and snow.
I've been a live-in housekeeper/cook,
as well as Chief cook and bottle washer for my own family.
I've had over 45 years experience in the cooking field,
and one of my passions is recipes.
I collect cookbooks, and love to develop recipes to suit my own tastes.

In 1986 I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus,
and was told by my doctor to stop working to reduce my stress level.
He didn't prescribe any solution for paying the bills once I had done so,
of course, and with a daughter to support, my stress level did anything but lessen.
It was then that I was blessed with finding my best friend, my husband.
He looked past the ravages of the disease, adopted my daughter as his own,
and we became a family.

Since he is career military, we live a nomad's life.
We have lived in everything from a spacious home in the country to a camper in the woods to a two-room shack.
Although we call both Texas and Idaho "HOME",
we currently belong to a small home in Virginia with a garden, two dogs and a cat.

I am proud to be a published author of two books,
and contributing author to yet another, with other books in progress.

My first Picture Book, "I Can Grow!"
is an uplifting story perfect for Spring. It's available as an eBook download
from Reader's Eden. The reviews have been outstanding,
and it is my hope that "I Can Grow!" will also be available
in a print version in the near future.

"If You're Gonna be a Monster...you gotta do it right!"
is my second book, this one Halloween themed.
It was a joy working with Illustrator Kevin Scott Collier (Kevin's Website)
who really brings the simple story to life.
Once again, the reviews have been outstanding.
It, too, is available as an eBook download at Reader's Eden.
And it is also available in print, and may be purchased directly from the Author by mail

I love to cook.
Acquaintances, my family, and friends have long been after me to write down my recipes.
"Mrs. Mouse's Menu" is the result.
It is a simple and easy to prepare dinner menu for two, complete with recipes.
Someday soon, the menus and recipes will be collated
and available as Mrs. Mouse's Menu Cookbook for your cooking pleasure!

Well, it has been very nice chatting with you.
I hope you enjoy the website. It has been lots of fun putting together.
Stop back by again. Things are changing here all the time.
