ABOUT VAL

Hello, I’m Val Marier …. a freelance journalist who lives in Wells, Maine. I’m a graduate of Skidmore College, a contented and happy wife, mother and grandmother who also enjoys knitting, golfing, traveling and reading. I try to bring my positive perspective on “life in my 70s” — whoops, now life in my ‘80s” — to my blog and hope you enjoy reading Wandering With Val.
