About

Hello folks my name is Bruce and I have been married to Vicki for 32 years the end of april. We have 2 daughters and they each have 2 boys and a girl which makes us the proud grandparents of 6 grandkids. I know times change as we get older, but it seems like my grandkids have left me so far behind. Couldn't catch up even if I wanted to. I have lived in Oregon since I was 4 years old. I worked in plywood mills for the first 24 years of my life and was forced to change careers when the industry was forced to down-size. Now that I am retired and look back I still have a hard time believing that I worked at the Portland Airport for Southwest Airlines in customer service until retiring. I never got comfortable in Portland, unlike Vicki, being around that many people and the traffic is outrageous. I stayed busy my first 2 years of retirement and then came the winter of 2018/19. I got very bored and started making candles for something to do. Didn't really think it would amount to much but I very much enjoyed making candles but giving them away to anybody who wanted one, was the biggest thrill I have ever experienced. My family and friends thought my candles were good to possibly sell to the public. I sure hope so and I look forward to seeing you all at the market soon.
