New Page

I am starting a new page in my life.  My, that sounds pretentious.  But it's now been four years since I've retired from CML, and it's been three and a half since Mum passed, and I'm starting to pull myself out of my grief and self pity and working to find a new direction I need to take.  So what has been my major interest these past few years....that thing that still sparks my interest and keeps my mind working?  Ok, so I like to read and that will continute, but I think both you and I know that many times reading is escape from reality.  And I really need to start dealing in reality more often.  Amanda has turned 18, and will be starting college soon, and will be moving even further out of my life...as it should be.  Can't just hang around anymore.

So what's interesting for me?  Vintage stuff, really.  I love finding vintage stuff that needs some love and tenderness and a good cleaning and a bit of repair, and then doing that.  Mark is of course, wondering what I'm going to do with this "stuff" and how much of it is going to pile up, but maybe I can sell it.  Some of it I'm repurposing for me:  Like the two mid century modern couches I found, and some of the mid century starburst clocks, but we'll see how this goes. I don't think I'm in this really for the money.  However, money allows me to buy some more.  Bad Me.  But let's see how this goes.
