My name is Rachel. I enjoy working at home. I have done so for five years and I hope to be doing so for five more. I am a Grandma who loves digital photography, genealogy research, and designing and self publishing my own printed media. I have done books, calendars, posters and canvases. It would be hard for me to pick out which of the afore mentioned activities that I like most. Then I think of my favorite activity of all and it wins hands down. I love to collect things. Mostly family heritage material. I have collected books written about and for my ancestors, postcards showing where they lived and a bottle from about 1874 with an attached porcelin lid which had an ancestors name on it. What they bottled is still a mystery, but that is what I love a good mystery and challenge to find the solution.
Which brings the conversation back to why I like to work at home. I enjoy a challenge. I like to learn new things and make money. I am going to use that money when I retire to tour America looking for my ancestors. The must see places are New Jersey, Virginia, Canada, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. And that is just a start of where I would like to go and what I would like to see. I also like to work at home because I live in Minnesota in the winter. I am sure you have hear of Minnesota in the winter. The trafic, the snow, the heavy puffy clothes and boots you have to put on (and that is just to go get the mail). You get the picture. I call the pictures below, "Snow in April." It looks pretty and usually doesn't stay long - but there are those "Snow in May" pictures and I have even seen it snow in June. So if I can get up at 7am, get a cup of coffee and get on the phone to go to work, I certainly will. It is much more serene to watch it snow from my office window while I work then to slip and slide across the dreaded black ice in the dead of January.
