Biography
I live in Las Vegas with my husband, Architect Boy (AB), my daughter, Mel, two cats, one standard poodle and a horse - but the horse really lives at a barn. I grew up in Southern California but moved to Las Vegas when AB accepted a job here. Las Vegas has been very, very good to us - even though it's dreadfully hot in the summer. I work full time, AB has his own firm and Mel is in high school and rides horse, eventing is what she loves.
I hope that this blog will inspire me to finish the things I start, use all the great supplies I buy hoping to find time and keep in touch with some friends that have moved across the country.
