Peg Bowden is a retired nurse living on a ranch in the San Cayetano Mountains of southern Arizona, close to the Mexico border. She paints watercolors, practices the piano, and plays timpani in a community concert band. The last thing she wanted to do in her retirement was health care. And guess what?

She lives with her husband, two dogs, a feral cat named Tamale, and a lot of open range cattle.
