It’s not easy to describe me. I’m a multi-faceted septuagenarian with a lifelong archive of stories, loves, adventures, and experiences. Family is, and always will be, the driver of everything I do and why I do them. It motivates me to keep working and be the best Spouse, Mom, Mimi, and Mother in Law that I can be. I’m like a book of stories, each one different but never-ending, as I am still creating and adding to my life’s stories daily.

    Thrifting

    Every Saturday in town, I go to a local consignment place called Southern Crossing.  In one of my earlier posts, I mentioned that thrifting was something I did with my Mom & this outing has continued.  I love a Goodwill…
