Live is an Adventure

How did we get here?

The story is long but to bring it to the point quickly we have to go back to 2014 when Kim and I first saw the Bloom Farm and fell in love. However, it wasn't the right time for us, so we walked away, but always dreamed of one day moving to Edenton

Fast forward to 2021 when not only our dream of living in Edenton had come true, but now we would call the Bloom Farm Home.

The kids and grandkids only stayed a year and a half before they took off on new adventures, but the time we had them here was priceless!

Cloth & Twine is now located in the bottom floor of the big farmhouse and we have an AirBnB upstairs.

2022

The  Bloom Farm
Retreat

The year of Covid-19 changed lives all over the world. When our daughter and her family said "We will move to Edenton" I knew exactly where our home would be!

2020

Early that year we found a small house to renovate and calling it home. We were serious about p-retiring and leaving the tech-world behind us.

2019

Sometimes you have to get off the path you are on and take a risk. That was exactly what we did!

We made the decision to leave California and return to North Carolina and finding and making a new home for us. 

2018/19

Starting a business is exciting, but we learned quickly that p-retirement wasn't going to last.

Was filled with renovations, ideas, new beginnings, and making new friends. It was so much fun.
