Hi, y’all! I’m Kathy Potts. I was raised in Mississippi, and folks around here tell me my Southern accent is still mighty noticeable. Tom and I have called Iowa home since 1999, and I love this place and the people in it. Our family’s Iowa roots run deep, too: we have a family pioneer cemetery near Albia, and our grandchildren are seventh-generation Iowans.
I started KibitzLinn to be a kind, helpful spot for all of Linn County: a place to share good information, celebrate our neighbors, and visit a little, the way we would on the front porch.
A bit about me
- Born in Pensacola, raised in Mississippi, happily planted in Iowa since 1999
- Part of a family with a pioneer cemetery near Albia, and grandma to a seventh-generation Iowan
- Married 43 years to my husband, Tom, the best husband ever
- Proud mom and grandma
- Proud owner of a front porch made for sitting a spell
- A big fan of our neighborhoods, small towns and local history
KibitzLinn is about neighbors, all of them. Here we stick to the facts, keep it kind, and leave the arguing for somewhere else.
