For about eight years I wrote a weekly column for RI's only major paper that featured a shelter animal up for adoption. By far the most fun I've ever had writing!

Right after my husband died, I volunteered at a local senior center and a lot of days I would go in, down and out, but by the time I walked around and talked to the people there and smiled, and told jokes, I was the one who benefited the most.
