This is me. My name is Lynnette. I am 39 years old, stuck in the 80's, a karaoke junkie, and happily married to the man below.  My favorite place to be is Gold Beach, Oregon. I am a member of the Red Hat Society as a Pink Hatter (member under the age of 50). I made it up to my Yellow belt in Karate. We have a dog Buster (Russell Terrier) whom we rescued off the street. We go to Orangecrest Community Church in Riverside, CA. Although I was raised in the city, I definitely belong in the country. I like the slower lane so I can smell the roses. I'd rather be fishing, planting, and crafting (although taking the jeep to play in the mud once in a while is fun too). Alan has infected me with the Gold Bug - while I have less patience for the panning itself, give me a dredge any day. I would love to go up to Alaska and mine up there on a vacation.

Currently I dabble in a few crafting enterprises, but I primarily make Soy candles and assist in managing the Certified Farmers Market in Riverside, CA - the one at Sears on Fridays (a far cry from the cross-country trucking I did 12 years ago). I am also now a retailer of an awesome product that has totally changed my life - the iCIG. There is a page in this site for each of our current ventures (or rather ad-ventures...lol).

This is Gary (also known as Buckey). He is 17, and a senior in high school. He has made it to testing for his green belt in Karate. He is a fourth-year (and second generation) Air Force Junior ROTC Cadet. He helps run the candle business. Don't let the cute smile fool you... he's a troublemaker! lol.
