About Me

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Christmas in July- Great Fun

What with my early departure in November last winter and the press of business for the un-retired neighbors, Janet said "We'll have to do Christmas in July." Well, she did it! She laid on a turkey and all the trimmings and her friends brought delicious dishes and winning personalities. Guy and Janet's new home was delightfully cool (temperature) and warm (atmosphere). What is interesting is that everybody kind of sneaked up on each other with fun gifts. Some goofy, some very thoughtful, all unique. Some good characters in the lot-so some good laughs and conversation. Janet picked all warm hearts from her mom and Max to Norma and Dave, Sandy and Howie, Sue, and Hollis and Guy.



It was great seeing old friends and meeting some new people. A real mid-summer pick-me-up. If you are looking for a new tradition....
