I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer. Check out my website (and my memoir) at www.gretchenstaebler.com.

Indeed she is. We have our own colonnade nurse log in the SHNA! How cool is that? In fact, SHNA looks not so different from the rain forest, just not as ancient.

I celebrate in gratitude for your recent time OUT on the peninsula. Sounds like it was incredibly nourishing. Your continued storytelling is inspiring me to want to get back on the blog horse myself. I appreciate the varying lengths of your post…sharing what inspires you. “I can do that,” I’ve been saying to myself.
