Who is this broad, Mary Louise Eklund?

Well, hello and welcome to my blog. Honestly, this is where I natter on about whatever is on my mind. I’ve come up daily themes:

* Monday Marginalia – things in life that strike me but have no other category to go into fall here. It’s notes in the margin of life.

* Tuesday Things – My collects, finds, and objects I want to share

* Wednesday World of Words – I love words of all kinds. This day I’ll share anything to do with them. Expect idioms, phrases, quotes, and the histories of each.

* Thursday Throwback – History, memories, nostalgia

* Freaking Friday – Here I indulge my strange side. Unsolved mysteries of all kinds, fringe topics, and lore.

As to who I am I?

Like most of us today I’m a person of many hats. I’ve a few published short stories and thus fancy myself a bit of a writer. I am current retired and moved back to the Smoky Mountains where I grew up. I enjoy genealogy, watercolor painting, collecting various little things and doing what I want when I want. I mean that’s retirement is all about isn’t it?

So that’s me in a nutshell. Stick around, say hello and strike up a conversation.
