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. I'm also a Realtor and all around town! It's heading into the Christmas season when I love to bake and 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!
