Corporate Manager vs Own Boss - No Contest


Okay it is Sunday morning with first coffee in hand. The world seems a bit brighter and it is not snowing today(so far).
I would not want to live anywhere else even on storm days.
I worked in the corporate world for 27 years when one cold winter day we came to a parting of the ways. Thankfully by that time I was back in beautiful Cape Breton and obviously had time on my hands. I always enjoyed crafts and decided that although our family had somewhat of a history in stained glass that wasn't for me. I decided to get on the internet and learn all I could about fused glass. I then purchased a kiln and started my quest. I haven't looked back since.
I am also very lucky because I have a house mate who keeps me going. Doesn't allow me to sleep in or stay up to late, nor does she allow me to get to comfortable. In her mind there are far to many things in this world to explore.
I believe I gave up one boss only to get another. Meet Millie

Any day now winter will be over in Cape Breton. And I wonder why I need new railings every summer. But I wouldn't live anywhere else.
