You call yourself a unicorn. I call myself an outlier.

Great story on Aunt Gin. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks Lesely. Writing is a muscle that must be exercised to get bigger. PS... I love seeing your explorations from Portugal. I think of Black as a dangerous color, but it adds so much drama in a skilled artists hands.

Margaret, this is a wonderful story about Aunt Gin and it gives us an indication as to who you are. I love stories about strong, brave women who forged a pathway to equal rights for women.

My grandmother had a similar life story. Orilla Fairchild Ripley was an Art Teacher who married at the age of 30. The marriage was kept secret until her round tummy caused suspicion.

Margaret, keep writing.... I want to hear more the unicorn.
