I used to not mind cities when I was younger but when I was younger. But when I was 20 things changed.
I like paradise and the pace of life . It is a retierment community and we have two holidays a year here which are nice. The first is Johnny Apple Seed day and the other is Gold Nugget day.
A 56 pound gold nugget was found in this area and so they have a yearly holiday. It is fun. People dress up and they have food, music , craft sales and contests.
I know what you mean about the dear :lol:
I didn't know you had bear in your area of course I have never been there so ?
I see you have 7 children wow . I have one son and I have 4 grandchildren. I would love to see them more than I do but I do call often and keep in contact as much a I can.
That is a wonderful skill to be able to make costumes. I think there is a Renaissance Faire in Nevada City once a year. I 've never been but it looks like alott of fun. Perhaps you could make costumes to sell to the people participating in the event.
I am trying to work on selling the things I make. I have been toying with the idea of calling my local Independent living center to offer sewing classes . Just to get out and make contact with others. In these times networking is very important.
I am on the board of the Fiberarts Connection of Southern Calif. Here is our new blog. -- fiberartsconnection.blogspot.com
My director is very nice and very knowledgeable about helping women. I can't tell you how much she has helped me.
She has helped me achieve thing I never thought I could.
She is a para educator. She may know more resourses.
I will look forward to the pictures.
My Best
