for those who wonder who I am
Putting the horns on! (From my archive. All the photos in this website are taken by me and the majority with my six-year-old some-what reliable Samsung Tablet. The one I dropped a long time ago and has kept on going despite the badly cracked screen.)

Never been strong on trivia, perhaps due to perceived trauma Christmas 1980, 20 years old and playing the brand new board game sensation “Trivial Pursuit” with the family, led by an intellectual and dominating father and two older smarty-pants brothers; she was bound to lose. However, today the unmistakable ominous first four notes of “Symphony No. 5” coming from inside the car jogged Streetgirl’s mind to emit an immediate unwavering response.
“Beethoven!”
And the music lover passes the money with a smile, “You win.”
Thought they were not going to, but finally my small sunflowers are opening!
