Retired, former City Councilor, former bookstore owner, wife, mother of 5, grandmother of 4. I'm just weathering the storms of life and trying to stay dry.

Spoke with a newly retired friend today, cautioning her from my experience that when you've lived a very active, tightly scheduled life it can be hard to detach & relax. It takes time. You don't suddenly quit caring about issues or friends & allies.


Waiting for my mustard seeds to arrive today - making mustard!


Had to have the sheriff come out & dispatch a doe this morning. Looks like she was hit by a car yesterday & only got as far as the front of our house. So sad!😪. I hope the person who was speeding through & hit her has serious damage to his car. Slow down!!!

People with anti-vax messages on SM have more in common with people who spread political misinformation than they do with people who have real concerns about vaccines. Those commonalities are a bit of a tell. 4/

Vaccines, masks & sensible policies to protect kids in schools are the equivalent of the boats, life jackets, sandbags & clean drinking water that keep people out of the hospital. Full children’s hospitals are the new school shootings. The price of freedom. 5/

BREAKING: America's 708 billionaires are now worth $4.8 trillion after gaining $1.8 trillion, up 62%, during the pandemic. That wealth growth alone could pay for over half of the Democrats' $3.5 trillion budget plan. Don't tell us we can't afford to invest in working families.

“I want to drive drunk.” “No, we’re not going to allow that.” “But muh rights…” “Sorry. We the public have rights too.” Makes sense, right?

Sesame Street deals with tough but relevant issues. Always has!

Sesame Street is tackling yet another difficult topic: addiction. The storyline for Karli, a green Muppet who was introduced as part of a focus on foster care, has expanded to include her mother’s addiction. nyti.ms/2OHTgYr

We know everyone has been eagerly awaiting the splash pad to open for the season. We have some more maintenance to complete, but we're hoping it's on by the end of this week (we'll let you know when it is!).
