About Lisa
Lisa will answer to any of the following:
Hey Lisa... Help mom!... Honey, could you...
and now starting in December 2020: Councilmember Schmidt...
!
Most emergencies at HEA had subsided by
summer and monthly payments from our main
customer (PG&E) were steadily increasing, so Lisa
decided to take on a new challenge.
She ran for Los Altos Hills city council.
Five candidates campaigned for three open seats, and after
a
very close race -- only a 1.2%
difference in votes between the first and last
candidates -- Lisa won by a
SINGLE
VOTE! It's a four year term, and she's excited to
get engaged with & contribute to local politics.
Happily she also remained healthy &
fit with daily bootcamp (either in person or via Zoom),
dog-walking, hiking trips, weekly yoga, and lots of
running.
She also organized a variety of trips, including several
with a new teardrop
trailer and
a fourth week-long trip to MTR with 16
socially distanced friends.
Impressive night cactus bloom in her garden
[Pre-Covid] Yard landscaping with Horace
Sealy's BFF...
and chauffeur
Helped Steve fulfill the Tesla-camper dream...
And made the tiny kitchen gourmet-cooking-capable
Spend time with her mom Nan in Austin...
And in the New Zealand Subantarctic islands
Organized another amazing Muir Trail Ranch expedition, with all the proper Covid precautions
She's an amazing planner with all things and we are lucky that she enjoys MTR
so much that she continues to make sure others can safely enjoy the lovely spot (and their horses)
She spent plenty of time outside, in California
And also in some places where it actually rains
Luckily Lisa has many hobbies that are
well suited to quarantine, like gardening
And sewing - she made lots and lots of masks!
(And completed TWO knitting projects in 2020!)
She continues to outdo herself in the culinary arts: here at one of many backyard dinners
But plenty of her masterful creations
stimulate only the palates of she and her lucky hubbie
(like this breakfast of Tex-Mex Migas in Lampasas)
She tackled lots of NYT acrostics and puzzles
and saved a baby snake
Sealy is her #1 dog, but she also got to
love many other dogs too
...which obviously is very taxing.
And most importantly she practiced her selfies
mostly with her quarantine buddy
Whom she still somehow mostly tolerates...
