Thanks for letting me in. It looks like a fun and interesting group. My name is Lois/aka NewEnglandNew/nen and I live with my husband and a dog on the northern coast of Massachusetts. We're supposedly retired.
I did little bit of lurking and saw quite a few names that I recognize (waving) and a lot that are totally new to me. I look forward to meeting and interacting with everyone. I started off on ebay in antiques and collectibles back around 1997, left, and came back as a clothing seller several years later. I started a basic store about a year ago and it's okay, although like so many others, I have my share of frustrations with ebay.
Adventure lies ahead! We are hoping to relocate to Virginia later this year. It's not due to the horrid New England winters (well, maybe a little bit) but more that I no longer have any family left here. In Virginia I have a sister and two grown nieces. The other adventure is that we have just booked a long awaited trip to England for the end of August. Ebay money. My husband is from Lancashire and has been here six years and we're heading back to see family and for me to see more of the country and hopefully some of my Yorkshire family too.
That's about it. I worked as a first grade teacher and later got my MLIS and worked as a school librarian and in public libraries. In other words, I may not know much, but I know how to look it up, lol.

Welcome. I think I remember your ID from the old boards, but I'm so much better with the avatars than names.

Wow, thanks for the great welcome, people. I think I set up my avatar. I think so. If it's a purple hibiscus plant with a white trellis behind it, then it worked. I copied that picture using store bought plants and it's out next to the front steps. Mine isn't as good as the picture though. All I could find were orange flowers. If it starts to look good I'll post a photo in here. Yes, I love gardening. Dogs and cats too. Travel if I can afford it.
