Mom, housewife, local and overall political junkie. Learning to swim in a bigger pond.
I don’t know it all, but I definitely have an opinion about what I do know. It’s just the way I am. I listen to reason, enjoy a good argument, and beg for details so that I can better understand.
My passion used to be the care and feeding of children, but they have a way of growing up on you. I enjoyed most of my time in local politics, but learned the hard way that one or two bullies can really ruin the fun. Now, I spend a good part of the year traveling and taking pictures. I cook. I read. I look for answers when others might not have even had questions.
I love being outside, so a lot of my travel includes water or cliffs or really big trees. You’ll find some of that in the blog. I love my family, but I’ve promised to make them invisible. I love politics, especially local, and you’ll be seeing a lot of that.
I love Brookfield, and even though I tried, caring less was not an option. This is my home and I will do my best to make it better.
Update – February 2009. It’s been a little over a year since I wrote that, and not much has changed, folks. You can search TRAVEL and see where I went over the last year. Search FOOD and you’ll find a few things there, too. BOOKS and BOOK CLUB also leave a trail.
The blog took a turn towards national last year with the presidential election. We’ll see if that sticks. As always, thanks for reading.
