Hello and welcome to my website. I
am glad you stopped by. Let me start by
introducing myself and telling you a bit about me.
As you guessed my name is Loree, and
for those who have asked me, 'Loree' rhymes with
'Marie'...blame that on my
Mother:-)
I grew up on a dairy farm...very
little money, but a whole lot of
imagination. I always wanted to be a writer,
but received very little support in pursuing
that. In fact, my father once told me, when
I said I wanted to be a writer, 'No you
don't! Writers are crazy people.'
Maybe he was right?
:-)
After getting my high school
diploma, in eleven years, I set out to make my way
in the world....by waiting tables.
A year later, I married and became
the mother of four wonderful sons...and years
later re-married...this time four daughters and a
son came with the package.
I retired from the Sheriff's
department in my county, where I was a deputy
sheriff, confined in the county jail...fortunately
on the outside of the
bars.
It's hard to believe that it
has now been four years (plus) since my first
poem appeared on the Cards for Fun site, in
Canada. Joe was very encouraging, and must
have used the first 50 or so that I wrote.
And when he couldn't 'shut me up', he subtly
suggested that I get a website of my own, so here
I am. I'm grateful that he kicked me out of
the nest, when he did, or this site would never
have been started.
I was lucky to have Lori Strevels,
recommended to me...she is a wonderful web
designer, with a great talent, herself, in picking
just the right graphic, to enhance my written
words.
There is something very intoxicating
about seeing one's written words in print,
followed by your name!
The poems on these pages, are drawn
from my own life's experiences, over the
years, and are meant to touch the hearts of
all who read them, and even, in some cases,
put a smile on your face.
To my faithful readers, thanks so
much for sticking with me, and for all your
encouragement. I especially enjoy hearing
from each and everyone of you. And to
new readers, who find me some way or another,
welcome to my home on the net...and I hope you
find a poem here, 'just for
you':-)
It is my fervent wish, that you
all enjoy reading the poems, as
much as I enjoyed writing
them.
Keep checking in.....I do not send
out a newsletter, but invite you just to tuck me
in your 'Favorites'....I don't take up much
space:-) I try to add, usually, one or two
new poems per week...so you all come back now, you
hear?!
