ALT Front cover of the December 2021 issue of the Patapsco Valley Living magazine, fresh out of the mailbox: “Meet Liz Walsh, Serving her Hometown on the Howard County Council.” We shot the photos around Main Street at the end of October, so finding Christmas-y outfits for the two children who grow like weeds was a bit dodgy. Tess is wearing a dark-blue cape, and her auntie did her hair and makeup, so she thinks she’s a super model now. I’m wearing a twenty-five-year-old scarf from a splurge at Nordstrom pinned with a gold bird we bought at Maxine’s—an iconic vintage shop here—after the 2016 flood. Graham is in the front of the three of us, mugging as usual. We look happy.
