This past weekend may have been close to perfect. One of my favorite girls arrived prior to the snow and we settled in to an afternoon of satisfying household tasks. There was cooking, roasting and baking. A tree was agreed upon and chopped down, by me. Later, it was beautifully decorated, not by me. I … Continue reading Last Run and a good run

Moms@Work – November
Here's a summary of what I've been talking about over at my other home on the web... I had a print piece published in the Women@Work magazine. Veteran's Day was honored.

It takes only a moment, generally, and provides a genuine opportunity to be part of a process. I haven't missed an election since I turned 18 and I sincerely … Continue reading Your choice today…
