She thought she would go to college at BYU, get married, move back to Wisconsin, have 6-8 children, and live happily ever after.  Instead she graduated from college single, taught elementary school in Utah for many years, and had experiences and adventures she never expected.  One day, in the midst of a global pandemic, she decided it was time to turn her life upside down, so she packed up her things, quit her job, and and moved back to Wisconsin, not knowing quite how things would turn out.  She ended up in a quiet town not far from where she grew up. She was able to buy the house of her dreams–a big old Victorian with lots of problems.  Oops, I mean projects, and full of “scope for the imagination,” as Anne Shirley would say.  This is her story.
