When she’s not writing, or reading, Lenora is busy working on her podcasts,—Coffee Break Escapes with Auntie Lenora—quilting, or photographing her beloved Columbia River and its birds. Alas, the time for Auntie Lenora to do regularly scheduled podcasts has blown on by with one of our infamous windstorms. But she does still do the now and then posting to The Spoken Word portion of this site.
