After retiring from teaching with 30 years experience and then moving to Tulsa in 2006 I had the best-ever opportunity to help raise our grandson.
As he got older, I knew I wanted to work, again.
Estate Sales Plus and Mailboxes & More both were fast paced jobs! The chance to work closely with staff and customers were the best! Always busy and never a dull moment.
After moving to Bixby in June of 2025, we quickly found both Breezee's and Red Beard's Treasure Chest and enjoyed the atmospheres and friendly people in both places.
