First of all I am a wife of 32 years, a mother for 30 years, a Nana to Chloe for 2 1/2 years. I worked as a commercial artist, a bookkeeper, a convenience store manager. I spent 15 years as a retail florist..which I loved with a passion. Five years ago, on the way home from our daughters wedding..hubby turned to me and said "I didn't realize how hard you work at being a florist, now I want you to close the shop. You can stay home and quilt" Nothing more said, I closed up in 2 weeks and sold the building. Life is good!!!
