WELL, LIFE GOES ON AND CHANGES ONCE IN A WHILE TOO! READ ON......

MY HUSBAND TOM, AND I RETIRED FROM OUR CAROL'S COTTAGE PLACE AND LINDY'S LTD. BUSINESSES ON JULY 31, 2013. THE CAROL'S COTTAGE PLACE WAS SHABBY CHIC STYLE FURNITURE AND ACCESSORIES IN AN ANTIQUE MALL HERE IN WICHITA, KS. LINDY'S LTD. WAS OUR BUSINESS OF SELLING ON EBAY FOR THE LAST 14 YEARS. WE HAVE RETIRED COMPLETELY. SOLD OUR HOME, AND MOVED TO A SENIOR RETIREMENT CENTER WHICH WE ARE LOVING MORE EACH DAY! PLENTY TO DO IF WE WANT TO, AND IF NOT, JUST REST AND ENJOY EACH OTHER AND OUR APARTMENT. I KEPT MOST ALL OF MY CRAZY QUILT SUPPLIES AND SEWING MACHINES. I INTEND TO ENJOY THAT ONCE AGAIN, BUT UP TO NOW I AM JUST STILL RESTING UP FROM A VERY BUSY 2 YEARS OF OUR LAST BUSINESS. I WILL STAY IN TOUCH. CAROL LINDBERG
