Thanks for following along and staying informed with Kathleen Stoddart. I'm a Woonsocket resident with 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 also work as a local realtor. At Christmas, I love to bake baskets of goodies for our service workers and neighbors (using my family as taste testers lol!)
