nearly 69-year old working grandmother of 2 ...my passion, to my detriment, is cats and Christmas ornaments. I own both in excess, in addition to having been told I am a compulsive hoarder....
My leisure time pursuits...I dare not call them hobbies...are seeking "sleepers" at flea markets, thrift shops, consignment stores, yard sales and rubbish piles...while doing this I am thoroughly enjoying the detrius of others. dID I SAY DETRIUS???yeow>>>i meant detriment!!!!!!)No, I was right the first time!
Then, when exhausted, I go home and read - mostly murder mysteries. I read about 2 per week and am always looking for a good new author.

livhouse, the paronomeister™ says:
"When we first conversed properly, straight away vf made me feel good about myself. Now, that's not a very altruistic reason for a testimonial, but actually she does the same for all her friends. And THAT is a very good reason for one. What a witty and charming lady! As it turns out, she's no slouch in the photography stakes either."
