Melinda the Intrepid

          Here you will find wacky but TRUE stories of my amazing life:  An incredible romance that started online!   The crazy days of growing up in the 1950s and 60s in the South before integration.  True and funny family stories which my grown sons are now sharing with their families.  My adventures in Scotland from 1966 to 1968, in Dunoon, where the USS Simon Lake subtender was docked.  Some of my poetry from later in my life, even the 1990s.  Finally my art work, what little survived, from the 1960s to 1990s.           I hope you will laugh with me and enjoy what I have shared.  

Here’s the story of the best $10 investment you will ever hear of.  This isn't about money, it's about LOVE.  I bought a hot man! My three sons and I back in 1992, a divorced mom then. This is the first of a three part absolutely TRUE romance.  The second part is "What Happened to That Hot Guy I Bought Off the Internet."  Don't miss it!    In the year 2000 I graduated with highest honors from Heritage College in Toppenish, Washington.  Going to college with Yakama Indians had been interesting.  I didn’t get scalped, molested or knocked in the head!   (When I was 20 and wanted to take a job on an Indian Reservation in Montana, my Father had stopped me, warning that I could get beaten up, raped and maybe worse.)  The Yakamas had treated me well and I came to love them. It felt so good to be a college grad and be done with classes and tons of homework nightly!  Just to complete my rigorous college classes...
