I've been Tagged!

I've been away from blogging for about a week and I've been tagged in that time by Tracy to tell you a few things about myself. Sorry for the delay in posting, Tracy.

Some facts about me!

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.

****What was I doing 10 years ago?:

My husband had his own construction business which he had owned for 25 years and he was retiring. We were a General Contractor doing Commercial and Industrial type construction. I worked in the business as the Bookkeeper and Business Manager. We had decided to move south when my husband retired and we were in the process of closing our business. We were incorporated and thus had to file with the state to close our business. There wasn't much of a market for a Construction Business and couldn't manage to sell it. so we shut it down. Also ten years ago, my father had died so we were in the middle of fixing up his house in order to sell it. We were also planning to have an Auction for our business and were trying to inventory everything to get ready for that. I was planning yard sales to get rid of things from our house that we didn't want to move. I was also doing some painting in our house in order to sell it and envolved in planning a move, hiring a moving company, etc. It was a very busy time for us.
