About me

Gender Female
Location NH, United States
Introduction I am enjoying my new "Senior Citizen" status. I only remember that I'm not 40 when I look in the mirror. Having an online antiques business keeps me very busy and probably takes too much time away from things like cleaning the bathroom. I live with George and Pixie. I'm sure you will hear much more about Pixie in my blog. I love spending time with my kids and grands. Gardening is a real challenge for me right now as I have been trying for two years to have a fabulous garden and have failed miserably. 2011 will be my banner year, with some serious help from a truck full of manure. I live the city life so I'll have to be very nice to the neighbors! I have moved to the city to be near essentials like train service. Have I used it, no, but it is there if I need it. My house is large and that is a good thing because the antiques are everywhere. I like to keep them a while and then part company, that way I have the best of both worlds. I am trying to find a balance between what I want to do and what I can manage. I'm not sure my plan is working.

At the beginning of course!
