My name is Hetty and I was quite surprised to find last fall that I turned 60. Surely they must be talking about someone else? But 60 it is... and there are days that I too feel like 100 when I have overdone it in the yard.
I am originally from Holland but haven't lived there since I was 24... and don't go back anymore since my DM passed away.
I have been married for 27 years and have a 22 year old son who will (if all goes as planned) graduate this summer and will then hopefully be off our payroll. Phew.
My hobbies are gardening - especially plumeria but all other tropical blooming plants, and classical music, especially opera. I was retired but went back to work part-time last year and am quite enjoying my job at the Naples Botanical Garden. Enough hours to keep me in plant-money and not so many that I have no time to play in my yard!
The plumeria in the picture below is named 'Henriette' (my birth name) for me by my dear friend Luc who runs Florida Colors nursery.
