Butterfly Moments

About the Book

Laura spent her first sixty years living under the big skies of western Montana. Then came sixteen years of retirement in southern Arizona. Now after ten years in Northern Idaho and the death of her husband, Laura is on her own but surrounded by the love of a large extended family. Laura has had a lifelong fascination with words. She uses them the way an artist uses paint, a musician uses sound, a sculptor uses marble, a potter uses clay, and a builder uses sticks and stones. In endless ways she tries to string them together to create images, to give life to ideas, and to evoke memories. But before she wrote a single word in a journal, Laura was first a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a student, and a teacher. Most of all she hopes that she was, and is, a caring friend.
