I do displaced worker up right with the help of CNN!
Ok, something is wrong with the statement above. First, displaced worker, the nice wording for unemployed or laid off worker, has a confusing sound to it, but I have been featured on CNN several times in a promotional video related to our nation’s election called America’s Choice.
I have a great work history, and returned home to Minnesota just over a year ago to be with my mother before she died and help my aunt in another nursing home. I found a job, but was laid off as the position was eliminated. Click to view my professional profile.
The year 2011 brought challenges. This year, 2012, I’m ready for opportunties!
When I travel, I love to go to the local grocery store.
The last grocery store departed my small town of Murdock, Minnesota, population, 303, many years ago, but there is a small grocery in Kerkhoven. I can remember as a child visiting my grandparents in Murdock, and my mother would just have the items added to the store credit, with a bill sent at the end of the month. There is a restaurant in Murdock, but it has not been open for years. This could be a reason to blog about food!
My family for years as stopped at the Lunds grocery store on Wayzata Boulevard in Wayzata, Minnesota, on the way to the Twin Cities. The variety of the foods from around the world is enough for me to walk around the cheese section several times, like I was in a museum. The fresh fish, including the salmon, stopped me in my tracks, with conversations with the gentlemen advising me about the varieties of fish.

Home made Greek Yogurt by Jannet Walsh, Minnesota Native Daughter.
I made my first successful batch of yogurt, Greek style, the thick type with less liquid, on the stove top and finished it off in a crockpot. Click to view video posted on Minnesota Native Daughter. Here is one of the links I got my ideas for the experiment.
I will update with a video on how to remove the whey to make the thicker yogurt, called Greek Yogurt.

I will remember 2011 as the year of losses, pain and tears. I’d like to say adios to 2011 early this year.
There might have been positive things that happened in 2011 in my life, but they will be overshadowed by the lose of my mother, Margaret I. Walsh in October. Add a dash of layoff and unemployment to the mix. I am ready for 2012 to start and kiss, or maybe it should be kick, this year goodbye.
If you are reading my blog, then you should be counting your blessings, especially if you are employed. Tis’ the season to be jolly, but I hope that Santa has not forgotten that I live in Murdock, and I’m still wanting a job for Christmas. Linkedin Profile
