A Trip to Hosta Heaven

A fitting title for my trip to the Rotary Botanical Gardens in Janesville, WI yesterday.  This isn’t a hosta, but the post is not just about hostas either.

Arlene’s Pottery & Gallery, Boulder Junction, WI

I think of myself as an artisan/artist.  I work with artisans and artists.  I believe it is my responsibility to promote artists and artisans whenever I can.  That is why I wrote about Ephraim Pottery and it is why I am writing an unabashed, unapologetic endorsement of my friend Arlene, the owner of Arlene’s Pottery and Gallery in Boulder Junction, WI. (Click this link to read the latest post!)

New Orleans, LA – June 2013

Though I was in New Orleans for the AAUW National Convention, I did have time for a little restaurant hopping downtown.  Read about it by clicking here.  (If you’re interested in the nitty gritty of the Convention, that will show up in another place!)
