Macie's Story
Born in San Francisco, California so it was a little strange after jumping into Genealogy Research I've found great great grandparents buried at Ocean View and Myrtle Grove cemeteries, my Mom didn't even know this even though she knew her Dad was born in Eureka! 22 great great aunts, uncles and cousins are also buried in these two cemeteries!
Married Garhett Boughton Dec 31, 1999 (Y2K). Schools include Alice Birney Elementary School, Jacobs Junior High, Eureka High School, College of the Redwoods and HSU.
Book: Loved Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power. Don't watch much TV but after foot surgery Sept. 2014 (12 weeks recuperation) watched Grey's Anatomy from the beginning to Season 11 via Netflix and Amazon. Finally took off all my foot pix from Classmates, I'm over it.
Have done a few things in the years since school, besides having 2 great kids...getting to stay at home with them when they were small. We moved to the mountains and lived in a log cabin without electricity for 9 years while I was Commercial Fishing which didn't seem at all 'dangerous' until the drag boat I'd been working on went down with 2 of my friends! (No, I wasn't on the boat that trip because I twisted my damn knee).
I finally had (4) horses, 2 thoroughbreds and 2 quarter horses and built a pole barn with my neighbor (lumber was milled from trees ...Expand for more
I cut down some of them by myself) . I also roofed the barn and now there are people living in it-Yikes!
My favorite job lately was Executive Chef for Ferndale Senior Resources (65 lunches M-F and 128 lunches every other Thursday), I have never been happier at work and I thought running a store on Geary Blvd in SF was as good as it gets until I went fishing. So... I've never had a job that felt like work!
Hobbies: I kind of like tearing things up and putting them back together-like the kitchen in our 1904 house. Its neat when people think the kitchen is original. I drew up the plans 5 years before I finally put my foot down. Garhett said "Any talk of remodeling is going to bring on a Divorce"! I responded "Well I Liked you very much!"
Favorite things: My VW Eurovan, Orchids, Geneology, Stained Glass, Home Improvement DIY, Dutch Baby (even over a campfire) but you can overdo things, Gary said 'don't make dutch baby so much!' The Sea Lion pix are from our trip to Cabo, Helen Workman said "Don't do that!" on Face Book. We finally went to Hawaii the month of Feb 2017, my daughter Sara, moved to Oahu June 2016. We went back August 2017, spent time on the Big Island and did some snorkelling, which I loved! We went to Hawaii 2X last year.
Favorite quote is: "No matter where you go...There you are".
and I'm Kind of Spoiled!
