My name is Abbie and I am from Shelby Twp. ( Auburn and Dequindre for those who might know the area) I see tripletmomma you are somewhat near me. I am a pet groomer and only groom as pretty much a hobby for friends and family. I am also a native michigander, I moved to california for a short 8 months and of course couldnt stay away for long. My family is all here. My family is one of many avid gardeners and being the youngest I still have a lot to learn! I also have a home in Arenac county, Loon, small world mines in Alger on maple ridge road. Its about 3 miles off exit 202, (I-75). Its also an old farmhouse that was vacant for 9 years before my husband, daughter, myself and pets moved into it. It was quite a mess really not livable but being the determined 23 year olds we were......well im sure you get the picture...we wanted to prove ourselves! Anyway it is still a work in progress my hubby is in the family buisiness so, we moved down when we were needed by the family.....what else could we do right? What are families for? I love to garden when I can find the time.. I have 2 kids, a girl who is 7 and a boy who is 15 months. that keeps me busy enough. the weeds usually take over before i find the time and energy to get out there, then it takes sooo long... I will show you a quick pic of my favorite garden at home, It may require more than one pic... I'll try to keep it short. you all seem real hospitable to new folks...... thanks for that and keep it up!!!
