| Introduction | Having turned 50 I am hoping to better appreciate the quiet pleasures of living. My husband and I share a birthday, occupations, a blended family of 6 children and Softie our Golden Retriever. My long career in planning and affordable housing has given me both great satisfaction and great frustration. This blog provides me with an outlet to explore my creative side. Enjoy!! |
