Welcome Michele. I just read one of Helen's posts about the grand adventure that you gals went on. She suggested to look into her friend the newbie and I'm so glad I did. Steemit is really such a wonderful platform. There is some nonsense on here but if you follow the paths of your interests there is so much wonderful content. I have found so many people on here with similar realities to mine....I love it.
I am really intrigued by your upholstering ventures! I have always been curious about the craft. I too am around your age and am in process of reinventing myself and expanding on passions new and neglected.
I love hearing your Norwegian saying ut på tur, aldri sur, I may just have to get a patch for my pack that says that :) Getting out and moving with nature is always the cure for all of my stresses and woes.
Thanks for your wonderfully written intro. I look forward to following you. Happy steeming!
