My name is Linda Almond and I am an interior decorator in New York City and elsewhere. I bought a small home in Portland, Maine, to renovate for my future retirement, but now that I've bought it, I can't afford to retire...or give up my Manhattan loft that I have lived in since the early days of Soho in the 1970s. I am single and I used to have several cats, but they have passed on and I haven't replaced them because I've been doing so much traveling. I have two good friends, Janet and Stan, who moved to Maine before me. I am glad to have them already there as friends in a new place.
