About Me

"So-Cal-Gal" ---from the O.C. no less--- wind up an antiques dealer back in Ohio? Well, one evening when I was in college, I went ice skating to cool off. There I saw a cute guy. The cute guy skated around me for a few years, but finally asked me out on a date. We've been together 27 years now. We got hooked on antiques when visiting his family in Ohio.
