I have been crushed into suitcases and backpacks. I’ve been snowed on and sleeted on and windblown. I’ve climbed to heights no self-respecting coat should ever have to endure. I’ve ridden on subways, trains, and trolleys, flown in planes, and ridden in derelict taxis. I’ve bumped along on a donkey. I have felt like I was flying in the back of a pickup truck tearing across desert flats and dunes. I’ve waded into rivers and oceans and across streams on slippery rocks. I have even traveled on a Navy warship clear across the Pacific Ocean and helped steer it for just a little while. I’ve petted elephants in the wild and watched a cheetah hunt his weekly meal. I’ve climbed towers into what seemed to be the very clouds and crossed a bridge over a waterfall so tall and wide I couldn’t see the end or the bottom of it. And more! It’s been a lot for a coat to do! Join me in my travels!
Ann has written short stories her entire life for her own pleasure. Her stories are the result of real travels around the world and there really is a borrowed blue coat.
When not writing stories of her past travel adventures, she is traveling to new lands to write about.
She and her husband are both retired and living in Texas where a nice long hike in the woods is a favorite pastime along with tending her flower and vegetable gardens, and volunteer work.
