Beryl's Story
Life
My life has been an adventure that I never dreamed of growing up in Mississippi. I cherish my memories of childhood friends and places, and the rich culture and history of the Deep South.
I left Mississippi at 19 to move west with my new husband. And I stayed on the West Coast, enthralled with the beauty of the Cascade Mountains. I live in the shadow of Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. St. Helens, just a short distance from Puget Sound, Orcas, Dall's porpoises, grey whales, and salmon.
My love of the outdoors began as early fishing trips on the Reservoir with my grandparents, and has continued with hikes in the wilderness, motorcycle rides across 7 states, and camping and hunting trips in the wilds of Washington, Oregon, a...Expand for more
nd Idaho. These days I prefer to hunt with my camera and to test the limits of my skills and endurance with my Harley.
My work life is the hectic, schedule driven, world of software, and my education at MSU and UW both have served me quite well. Who knew that the math class trip with Mrs. Polk to Mississippi College to see a working computer would lead me into programming classes at MSU and my career in the industry?
In between gardening, riding my motorcycle, and working, I find time to maintain a small website for posting my photos and stories.
Someday I plan to take a long motorcycle trip across the country to visit the places where I grew up, see old friends, and introduce my "Yankee" friend to true Southern hospitality.
