: About Me

My passion is ...

my family, my true friends, my pets, and my garden

I know too much about ...

Things that don't matter, my brain is a trivia sponge

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

I wanted to be an artist

My favorite memory ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My first job ...

My first real job was motherhood, the rest was just practice.

My best moment ...

It' a toss up between the births of 3 healthy babies.

My inspiration ...

The man I married and have loved for over 36 years
