Kids, I have such a treat for you today. Judy Roney, of I'd Like to Say , is one of our long-time members, from the early days of Poets United, and a very talented one, in both poetry and art, as you will see. For Judy, as she is a special lady, I have prepared a genteel tea cart on wheels, pulled up near the fire. We have a lovely tea service, and thin little sandwiches, which we will follow with petit-fours. Gather near, for I'm about to pour.
Poets United: Judy, would you tell us a little about your life, your family, your part of the world, your career - whatever you want to share so we can see “the person behind the poetry”?
Judy: I was born in Tennessee and that is where my southern accent hails from. Now I spend half the year in Tampa, Florida and the other half in Maggie Valley, NC. You can imagine what seasons I spend in each place. I have the best of both worlds. Oceans and mountains both feel spiritual to me.
I live with an incredible man, my husband, Bill. We have been married forty-one years, and I look forward to the next forty or so with him. I have two daughters, Jeni and Angie . They are both following their dreams. I have a dashing son-in-law, Tom . I have one son, Brian, who died when he was twenty-three. I have four granddaughters, three great grandsons, and one great granddaughter. They are all such a joy for me.
With my incredible husband, Bill
