On an Irish island next to a memorial of my maiden name.
Here is my family near our home; four adult children and husband, Andy.
We live in a log house that we built ourselves; here is our sauna in the backyard that we use weekly.
Pay attention. Be curious. Follow reality.
I love nature, traveling, reading, music. We built our log home, and my husband and son are still building log homes. I have four adult children, who teach me new things all the time!
I taught science in-person for 5 years at Pequot Lakes and 5 years at Brainerd Public Schools (many years ago). I was awarded "Teacher of the Year" in Pequot Lakes in 1990. After I raised my children (and I did much teaching as I raised them:), I returned to teaching science and environmental education online at CCS; this is my 7th year here.
