Christine M KendallChristine M. Kendall is a septuagenarian poet who lives in North Central Washington's Methow Valley on twenty acres by Upper Beaver Creek a few miles out of Twisp, Washington, a town without a stoplight. Ms. Kendall moved many times in her early year as an Air Force dependent, but her father's family had deep roots in Washington State, where she also put down roots until a need for more elbow room took her and her partner and their dog to the Shrub Steppe. Ms. Kendall still spends much of her summers in Bellingham, Washington, for the salt air, greenways, and good friends. Nothing can dislodge her from the Methow in the winter, where she discovered she loves the snow and takes great delight in creating paths on the property, wearing snowshoes to do so for walks with her Goldendoodle Gus. In other seasons she reads, gardens, writes poetry, and meets with good friends for coffee to discuss what's right in the world and occasionally what is not. Read More Read Less
