About Me

Lorna Reads: I am married and the mother of two amazing children - son John is 3rd year and daughter Beverly is grade 12. I have been married more than a quarter century which catches me by surprise sometimes. I like to write letters. I mostly write e-mails now - perhaps BLOG will be my new forte. Fall is my favourite time of year and I love winter. Most of the time, there is TOO much day and not enough time. I really like people. I adore young kids and those not-so-young anymore.
