Here we are in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. It’s beautiful. The landscape is much different from where I have lived for the last 17 years. It’s more like where I grew up in Connecticut with the hills, trees and lakes. In the years past, when I have met people who have visited Connecticut from …

He even had his own petting zoo, a collection of animals that he raised. One might say Teedie’s childhood was the stuff …
The moving truck pulled away a couple of weeks ago. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I have spent some time blazingly mad at my husband for moving us to Wisconsin. Yes, the job opportunity was a great one and yes, there are so much more opportunities here for our kids. But, this isn’t what …
