More About Janet
More about Janet:
Janet Pratt is a writer, poet, former high school English teacher and guidance counselor. She retired to "the lakes" in her 60s and proceeded to join a steel drum band and started galavanting around the area doing gigs with her friends!
She raised 3 kids - Kelly is the oldest (and bossiest 😊) and often tries to "coach" her mom. Kari, is the artist in the family and her youngest, Steven, is on the east coast and is an aircraft crew chief for Boeing .
She talks about herself and her husband as "the poet and the pilot." Dick has been tinkering with airplanes, in one way or another all his life. He even remodeled their retirement home so he could re-build them in their basement. (Yes, the basement. That's another story.) Janet has always been indulgent of Dick' adventurous spirt... even when his adventures moved the family to a bayou in Mississippi to run a campground. (Again, that's another story.)
Janet is the extremely responsible oldest of 3 kids to a single mom. The first ever Homecoming Queen in Fargo North Dakota. A star tennis player.
And the best mom ever.
She lives in Detroit lakes Minnesota with Dick, Abby the cat and go to lunch with their grand daughter Naomi every Friday - when they're not sheltering-in-place. In between she's working on her book - DANCING IN THE KITCHEN.
(ps. this bio was written by me, Kelly Jane, her oldest daughter!)
