About Me:
I am a retired RN, a Master Gardener for one and a half years; I have twin girls who are seniors in separate colleges and we have paid our last 'payment'; of course empty nester
Favorite area of home improvement:
yard work of course and hardscaping. I have to do whatever the dogs and cats tear up. I have painted most of the interior and mostly with 'electric paint system' but hate to paint. Love to make the ugly go away. May have to paint floor where dark 'animal' spots are - a decorative area, as if to paint a rug on a wood floor.
