Visits to 'the country' were very important to me growing up, especially working on the farm, experiencing all the wonders of cats and chickens and pigs and calves and outhouses!

You can't steal my joy because you didn't give it to me! Blessed.

I prefer to do absolutely nothing. I love to relax. But, if there's a beach around that's where you'll find me.

Don’t take yourself too seriously.

I'm a huge seafood lover; I could cook it everyday.

I feel blessed to have had such a background, where animals, food raising, harvesting and canning were a natural part of life.

I'm really just a throw-my-hair-into-a-ponytail kind of girl. I don't like styles that are too neat or too done. I don't think I'll ever go too crazy with colors. I stick with my main two: goldish-blonde or black.
