When I'm not working in my studio, I get to play Mina Edison, at the Edison/Ford winter estates here in Fort Myers, Fl. My husband Don, is a guide at the estates and is Thomas Edison in their living history program. He gets paid, and I volunteer my services. In Ft Myers, you can see why we call it our little paradise here on the planet. The sunsets are just beautiful.
