About beddowhouse

I love old houses and live in one built in 1862. It never was and still isn't fancy but it felt like home the first time I walked into it. I have a wonderful husband, Ken, that has put with me for 28+ yrs now. I have one very loved child, Kenneth, he is 22, graduated from college this past May. Also have a very spoiled black Bobtailed cat, named Bobby.

I love to flower garden and find it peaceful and relaxing.
