I am a mother of 4 children, 3 boys 1girl. the boys are all moved out. We have lived here for 17yrs. I love crafting and the outdoors. I worked at the same stable for 9 and 1/2 yrs. It just changed owners while I was there. The reason I am looking for a job is because the second owner unexpectedly passed away.
