After the block party yesterday on BYC, I decided I just have to spend more time here. So... here goes! My name is Judy, I live in the country.... way out in the country, with my youngest son and his family (4 kids) plus my oldest son's x wife and her daughter. That makes 5 grandkids right here to raid my fridge or call for taxi service!
I have an online doll business where I sell accessories for high end dolls as well as play dolls like the American Girl dolls. Don't laugh.. doll collecting is the most popular hobby next to trains!
I have 4 bearded silkies, 4 regular white silkes and 4 silver laced wyandottes and 5 dogs. I enjoy my grandkids, online business, gardening, chickens, dogs plus various other animals around here that my daughter in law and grandkids collect. I love riding my 4-wheeler and cannot wait until the weather gets cooler as I love cold weather too.
At 71 years of age, I decided to quit waiting on help and build my enclosed chicken pens myself so I went out and purchased the lumber, chop saw, hammer drill, wire and everything else I though I needed and got busy.
The first photo below is the last pen I built for my bearded silkies (hiding out inside their house due to heat). It is 8' x 18' and I am putting sand in the bottom as I have found that open air pens with sand are easiest to keep clean. The second photo is an old gazebo frame I confiscated from my son's junk pile and added what was needed for my wyandottes. I built it around their house so they now have plenty of room. Looks rough but serves the purpose just great plus it gave me the courage to build the one in the first photo. The last photo is a pawhut pen for my white silkies. It is actually the first pen I purchased. I added a small run that I built to give them a little more ground space and the nice thing.. it is easily detachable for cleaning.
OK.. so that is it for my introduction. Looking forward to lots of fun time on this group!

My mother collects high end dolls so fits your demographic minus the chickens of course as it would get in the way of her RV'ing. 
The neighbors were worried when they saw me with the chainsaw but I did it
Best wishes and have lots of fun!
