I was a single mom of two special needs sons. They are both grown men now doing well for themselves. I also was a semi truck driver for 27 years. I have seen most of the United States and Canada. When i had my children i went local to be home with them. I am now 50 and reinventing myself thanks to Misty and Michael and a mint train lantern i picked up at goodwill. I have had to give up my love for trucking because of injuries. I have always collected things and grew up around my grandma and dad who also liked to collect. The last year really has been transformative for me. I love doing this as much as trucking and it allows me to slow my roll when i need to. Thanks so much and Happy Shopping!
