Office by Alex Penny
This site WAS going to be an online portfolio or resume, but now it is mostly a virtual display case for a few things I want to remember. However, if you get curious you can view my resume by clicking on the link to the left. One more thing - check out my vintage shop on Etsy if you like! It's always a delightful work in progress. :)
I just added 10 more books to my cookbook wish-list.
When I am old, I will be a kind (but slightly creepy, and of course wealthy) cat lady, who always smells of lavender and peppermint, and houses 25 or more healthy, chubby little cats and kittens, who will all be spayed and neutered, of course. I will have a handsome young gardener named Irwin, who tends my roses and herbs and feeds my cats, and in exchange I will make him dinner and innocently introduce him to my lovely great-granddaughters. I will offer peppermints and hot chocolate to the neighborhood boys who mow my lawn and help me walk across the street. Know-it-all teenage girls will say that I am “such a cute old lady” during one of their many conversations about how cute old people are. I will play the piano for my church, but will be so old and deaf that mistakes become as frequent as harmony, yet no one will mind because they assume I will die soon and leave them to another aging pianist. They will assume I will die soon for at least 25 years, as I get older and older, yet stay spry enough continue to teach piano and sing in the choir and bake the most delicious cakes and cookies in the history of history for all my family and neighbors… and that’s as far as I go, for now.
