I was privileged to grow up with a mother who not only was always making things from scratch, but also had a herb garden wherever she lived.

Having spent 28 years in various positions in the IT world, including as an IT programmer, one would think that I would have a really good modern website. Not so! My son built our first website many, many years ago and in spite of threatening to get a new eCommerce website at the beginning of the last 5 years, it just didn’t happen. It is not that I am lazy.
