About Me

My photo
Once a California Gal, now a full fledged Northwest Country Gal. I enjoy gardening,antiquing, spending time with my Husband AKA "Cookman". He is such a good cook. Thank goodness. I would much rather be out digging in the yard and planting roses. He is my Hero and best friend. Just being able to take walks with him is very special to me. I have been cancer free for 7.5 years. It wonderful to be able to spend time together. Go for walks, going to movies, or hanging out at Wiggett's Antique Marketplace, in Coeur d' Alene, ID. Our home away from home. We love the owner's, dealers, and customers. Retirement is a good thing.

FOXGLOVE ANTIQUES

Located in Wiggett's Antique Marketplace, in the charming little town of Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. One block from the Resort and beautiful Lake Cour d' Alene. The shop has been voted BEST Antique Store in North Idaho the last 2 years.

I thank God for being able to live here. Everytime I drive down town to go to the shop. It is so beautiful. It reminds me of a small town you might see in a movie. In the summer, all the old fashion lamp post are decorated with huge hanging flower baskets. I love it!

Christmas Lights in Downtown Coeur d' Alene, Idaho








Downtown is so beautiful all year but especially at Christmas. Photos courtesy of Angela Skarpona, Gig Harbor, WA..


Idaho Country Kitty






















This is our kitty girl. Her name was Princess when we adopted her. We call her just about everything else. Mostly Baby-girl. We rescued her about 3.5 years ago from the shelter. We like to spoil her. Just hope being on the internet doesn't give her a big head. If I could, I would have about 4 more. I love them all.

Merry Christmas

I love wishing you a Merry Christmas because it is my way of recognizing that Christ is the reason for this season. Such a wondrous miracle. In addition we get a chance to get together with friends and family, make homemade goodies and even pull out some of our vintage decorations too.




Memories from Monterey, Ca



The Grandchildren taking a weekend vacation with Mom and Dad, enjoying a visit to Monterey and Carmel, Ca. As you can see, Kaitlyn loves her big Brother.

Son In Law Mike and Daughter Debbie.

Debbie and Mike at Christmas party last night. Debbie is wearing a vintage hat from Aunt Bessie. The hat is from the 1950's. I'm so glad she can use something so special to me.
