Hello From a New Blogger

Hello Everyone,

Although I've been blogging for some time on my own site, this is my first blog on the Patch. My name is Jeanette Fratto and I've been a Laguna Niguel resident for 28 years. I have two adult children, and three grandchildren. I've enjoyed reading the Patch since I first learned about it three years ago, and occasionally I comment on an item of interest to me. Debbie Sklar has done a nice job keeping us apprised of local news and events. In the "it's a small world" department, Debbie's mother and I attended the same high school in Detroit, a couple of years apart. We did not know each other then and only came to learn of the coincidence when I met Debbie some years back.

I'll probably be blogging on an irregular basis about topics which I hope would be of interest to Patch readers. I've worn a few hats in my life, including a 26-year career in law enforcement, and now a career in novel writing, so those are areas you can expect to see me writing about. I love to do book reviews too, so I'm sure one or two will come up in the future.

Until the next blog, that's it for now. I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving.
