Born and raised in downriver Detroit - Adulthood spent in the South (a bit in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and a whole lot in Florida — loved the people, and the heat not so much) - moved back to Michigan before the housing crash in 2006...lucky for me. Love the four seasons here in Battle Creek — Love living so close to where I work, so dealing with snow and ice is no problem. Love my job (and that I have one). Love my darling son and daughter who have grown up very uniquely. Looking for ways to make Abigail Adams proud - don’t want to squander the supreme sacrifices of the founding fathers and mothers! Women as a group have been a huge disappointment in leadership positions, but there are exceptions. Nothing turned out the way women were told when the feminists took over everything (just try to reject the choices that group has for us and listen to the banshees screech). I am quick to criticize what’s going on in my country, but I also want to be able to always see what is right — all the good things that are happening and can happen if we’ll just support each other. It was quite a thrill dropping my tea bags on the steps of the Lansing capital this spring. We have got to get Tim Walberg back in Congress - what a fine human being who has a true grasp on Freedom and Individual responsibility.
