About Me

I'm a Oldie but Goodie domestic Slacker that loves to play in the house...As your never too old to play house..


I have 3 grown Daughters that I can now call my best friends, 7 Grand kids and 9 Great Grands  and YES I just toss them my checkbook at Christmas time ha ha!!

I have a real strong love for my family, I also love to collector Victorian Antiques, Make Victorian lamp shades, decorating, Play with my dishes, rearranging my house all the time...ha ha!! Trust me if you sit too long in my house I will decorate you like a tree at Christmas time....


I am very PROUD to say I am an ovarian Cancer survivor for 16 years now...That is how I came up with my Blog name of "Happy To Be"  ( alive) and I take each day God gives to me and try and bring Hugs and Smiles into  others lives now....Because life is like a roll of toilet paper the closer it gets to the end the faster it goes...


May all of you that come to my Blog have many Hugs and Smiles in your life...
