Thanks for following along and staying informed with Kathleen Stoddart. I live in Woonsocket and have 3 grown kids and 3 dog babies to keep me busy. I love hardware stores and can be seen checking out all the cool stuff. Being a Realtor, I sort of have an excuse. It’s heading into the Christmas season when I get to make baskets of goodies for our service workers and neighbors . Neighbors, please don’t think we’re crazy but my husband cooks his delicious deep-fried turkey and lowers it into the pot with his hockey stick! Any ideas or feedback, email me at KathC21Homes@gmail.com
