| Introduction | I am 58 yrs old & work part time at a big box home improvement store. In Sept. 2006, I bought a c.1920 Arts & Crafts house in Jackson, TN. I saw this house & yard that needed the love and attention of someone who could see past the issues & fill that void. In 3-1/2 years I have turned a desolated, overgrown yard into one that has won yard of the month three times in that time as well as having been asked to be profiled in my local newspaper for the improvements & curb appeal. I enjoy visiting daily with my neighbors, both asking and advising on gardening questions. My most recent outside project has been the building of a 3-bay compost bin to start creating my own compost. I have an 11-yr old Silky Terrier named "Max" who is my daily companion and friend. He is a pound rescue that has given many years of happiness. I adore Christmas time and over decorate everything, with a tree in every room including a 9ft in the bathroom. The best project I was ever involved with in my life was my wonderful daughter, Melissa, age 30, who gives me joy daily and of whom I am very proud. |
