Hello! I’m Frances. Thanks for stopping by my ego-driven little corner of the world. This blog is my way to share my world with family and friends around the globe, but it’s also my outlet for stress and grief—and joy and laughter. And, mostly, it’s all about me and how awesome I think I am.
But I also want Just Frances to be a place where others feel like part of the fun. So please feel free to comment or to ask questions. I love interaction and I don’t bite so, really, get in touch if you’d like! (There’s a contact tab at the top of this site if you’d rather not comment on a post!)
So, here’s the Readers’ Digest summary of my life: I am a small town gal from the mountains of Washington State. I grew up in a large Catholic family as the third of six daughters to two awesome parents.
In my late-20s I moved to Scotland for a spell where I met a cute boy. We then married and settled in Washington where we planned to adopt a couple of awesome kids whilst I worked on my master’s degree, but God’s plans weren’t the same as ours and it wasn’t long until my loving husband, Paul, died.
Losing Paul meant losing the future that we dreamt of together, which meant figuring out a new one. So, I have now returned to my beloved Scotland where I am [finally] working toward my master’s degree at the University of Stirling. I’m excited about my new future even as I’m mourning the old one.
There you go. Me in a nut shell. (Which is better than the nut house where I probably belong.)
