After nearly two years of my self-designed mad men look, it was time for an update at Bucksome Boomer. I even hired a professional who put up with my vague instructions and slow follow-up. Thanks, Sharon! Check out the new design and let me know what you think.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I was ready for a change, but it is still a surprise every time I go to my site and see it! Tony, I’ll send you an email to answer your question.
I love the new header Kay! Very professional looking…
I did a “double take” when your site loaded…I thought I typed in your url wrong! The site looks great.
