Phyllis loves Glade Road! Phyllis loves her life in Blacksburg, VA but also enjoyed her career as a Public Information Director for Wake County (NC) Sheriff's Office. Other career adventures in Raleigh, NC included freelance writer, editor, political consultant, and Special Assistant to the NC Commissioner of Banks. Her hometown, Milan, Tennessee, also allowed her to teach 7th and 8th-grade English, an experience where she is certain she learned more about life than her students did about Language Arts. Most of all she loves her husband, son, sister, extended family, and dear friends who make her life a joyous journey. Come along with her as she reflects on Glade Road Living, close to nature (sometimes too close, more on that later) but not too far away from Kroger and Starbucks.
