About Me

R. Aastrup: I was an English teacher for more than 40 years but am now retired from full-time work. I am a New Englander at heart but have enjoyed each place I've lived. I love travel and have been to 49/50 states (just missing Alaska) and 44 countries besides the US. I love reading, writing, traveling, taking pictures, listening to and playing music, and spending time with my husband, family and friends. It's all here . . . and more.
