Ramona Barnes, Alaska State Legislator 1978-1998.

Alaska is known for our tough women–none of them tougher than Ramona Barnes. She served 20 years in state government, becoming the longest-serving woman in the Alaska State Legislature. Nicknamed “Rambona” by an editorial cartoonist, she had a reputation for being gritty, hard-as-nails and absolutely committed to her state.

Damsels in distress

Playing with new paints.

Here’s my dilemma. She’s not allowed to touch the loom because she chews on it so I yell at her. It’s a constant battle. Then I notice it’s quiet and when I turn around from my desk I find this. Is she in trouble? Is she being good? Is she lulling me into complacency? Is this the three dimensional chess puppies learn in the litter zoom chats? Perfectly good bed, right there. It’s literally right there.
