Five six years ago I began a blog.  It became well known at a time when most baby boomers didn’t know what a blog was.

Now they know all about blogging, search engine optimizing, and how to become rich & famous without really doing any work.

Excuse my cynicism.  Instead of thinking about the next steps I blogged.

Then I moved from the Upper West Side of Manhattan where I owned and sold a small coop to North Myrtle Beach, SC where I found a small house.  It had a patio on the second floor, was in the perfect location and I fell in love the moment I saw it.  Alas it was pricey for here so I didn’t think of buying it.  Then the owners realized there was a recession going on and knocked the price down by a third.  I negotiated some and…..

Would come to the house and cry as it was in need of a total renovation.  Finally I found the perfect contractor,  Eldon.  Prices were reduced because of the recession.  I’m the proud of owner of a totally renovated house with both miso and bordeux bamboo floors (Ty Pennington named the colors not me,) an incredible kitchen and so so much more.  This year I decked everything in the “irregular plot of land” that wasn’t already decked.  And found the secret to not having bugs at night outdoors (no grass).

Somewhere in the past two years North Myrtle became home.

I miss New York but go back on a regular basis.
