@karukgirl Hi , you are so kind .
I live in the upper part of the lower peninsula in Michigan . I-75 .. - 50 miles below the Big Mac. My husband had property . We came and built a house . That is when I quit smoking .. I had never experienced the seasons . The fall colors are eye candy . The snow beautiful . Spring and Summer too short . I do go out . Not a lot . But my husband is all help. He is the oxy man. I take rides on the wooden rumble seat on his tractor . We have a small ( pond) lake on our property . We go there and watch the red winged blackbirds and the loons. Bullfrogs burping . No more campfires in the rock fire circle . But we take a lunch sometimes . Yes , thank you , I am happy . I will be 81 soon . That’s a good long time to me . I like to keep meds as simple as I can . No respirator for me . I live as natural as I can . I am also a DNR. Life is still good for me . I want to enjoy every day of it . I have sold on eBay since the late 90’s . I sold things I painted , wood burned runes ,altars , pottery , dishes and a wide variety of things. I sell a bit now . I have been doing some Sashiko. It is slow stitching and freedom of design rules Thank you for your very kind note . You made my evening very warm , and I am smiling. Blessed Be , Crystalena

@crystalena ,
What a beautiful picture you painted with words. I can "see" the colors, smell the pond, hear the birds and frogs...how wonderful you get to enjoy the property you live on.

Fellow mentor @gingerw is an artist with fabric as well...although I could not explain what it is she does with fabric...but it's creative for sure. I wonder if she has heard of Sashiko.
Eighty-one sounds younger all the time to me. What's the saying? It's not the years in your life...it's the life in your years that matter most.
You keep that wonderful attitude and be careful up on the wooden rumble seat! You don't want to add stunt person to your long list of accomplishments!
Where would one find you on eBay?
