Hi, I am Linda from New Hampshire

Hi to all the folks at Steemit. My name is Linda and I suspect, at 71, that I might be one of the oldest Steemit members. One of the great pleasures in life if learning new information and there seems to be an abundance of information and friendly folks here at Steemit. I was directed here by Gregory Mannarino. Greg does an update on the US stock market twice a day and I follow him on his website. You can check Greg's site out at https://www.traderschoice.net/.

I have lived in New Hampshire USA all of my life. I grew up in the beautiful Lakes Region and now live in the Baker River Valley of central NH. I have been married for 41 years to Nick, a retired civil engineer. Although living only in NH I have had an interesting and enjoyable life. I am the 7th of 9 children, so growing up there was always someone to have fun with. I have traveled to Hong Kong several times and to mainland China on 5 different trips. I have traveled north to Canada and south to Mexico and Costa Rica.

My interest are varied, economics, travel, politics and natural health care. I have worked on numerous political campaigns and was the fiscal officer on two congressional campaigns. If you enjoy politics NH is the place to be. With our first in the nation primary everyone comes to NH to test the waters. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders just lives across the border in Vermont. They all have come here many times during presidential campaign seasons. I make my own skin care products and one of my newest interest is learning to use essential oils. Because of some health problems I developed an interest in natural health care. I make bread and at one time sold bread mixes for bread machines. I make my own yogurt and kefir. If you want to be healthy you need a healthy gut and kefir is a great help. I enjoy having the birds at my feeder and make my own mix of lard and peanut butter for them. I love to can, especially meat. I used to have extensive flower gardens but health has slowed me down in that department. I love my computer, learning first to use dos and then Windows 95. Computers have opened the world for all of us. One of my favorite programs is Corel PaintShop Pro.

I love glass and pottery. I collect depression glass, Polish pottery and burnished Mexican pottery.

I look forward to spending many hours on Steemit learning many things you have to share and hope you find some of the things I have learned interesting.
