My husband Ken & I live on an acreage, not far from town. We have a lovely view of the ocean, always a changing picture. I love gardening, but am changing the beds to mostly evergreen flowering shrubs for an all-year color & interest. Our soil is really hard to dig & I have lots of arthritus now, so I can't do that much heavy work. We do all our own work, from renovating the house to building new garages, etc. Our yard is alive with lots of birds & we enjoy them so much! We have 2 ponies & 2 little pups now, so our days are busy. For fun, I play bridge & Ken curls. I really enjoy the ThriftyFun site, wonderfull to read, new recipes to try out & make use of the handy hints. Betty Reese
