I’m a baby boomer who retired in October of 2003 after working 30 years for Caterpillar Inc.  My husband, Tom and I currently live in Southeast Florida as a result of Tom’s job transfer with Caterpillar.  This is the 2nd job transfer for us - we previously lived in North Carolina.   We were both born and raised in Illinois.  I have a son from a previous marriage who is in his late twenties and Tom has a son and a daughter from his previous marriage.  They also are in their twenties.  All 3 live in Illinois and either in school or employed enjoying their independence and staying out of trouble - we hope.

When not visiting family, I spend most of my free time enjoying my hobbies - sewing, scrapbooking, gardening, decorating, and a fairly new past time for both Tom and I - RVing!  We bought a 40’ motor home in 2005 and are thoroughly enjoying our RV adventures. 

I usually have some kind of a project underway and several completed - so much of what you read here will be related to these projects.  Plus - I predict this RVing thing is going to consume much more of our life - real soon.  That’s the plan anyway. 

So - fill up your coffee cup and tool around my blog.  There are plenty of pics to keep it interesting.    You’ll either be bored silly or maybe - just maybe you’ll get inspired to try something new.  Either way - one thing I know for sure is you will enjoy the coffee!  TFL
