as well as sewing and crocheting.

What did you want to be when you were 12 years old?

 An archaeologist... I wanted to explore the pyramids.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

 Lots of good memories.  I lived in a neighborhood full of kids and we'd play hide and seek until 10:30pm in the summer time.

Tell us about another job you had...

I volunteered for several years as a family and divorce mediator. It was great to get two oppositional people together, sitting across the table from one another and see if they could settle their differences.

Tell us about your beloved?...

My precious grand-daughter!!! It is more fun than I ever imagined!

Name 5 things always found in your fridge?

This is fun... swiss cheese, sweet pickles, fugi apples, hummus, and celery.

My favorite quote...

 "It's only with the heart that one sees rightly,

what is essential is invisible to the eye." The Little Prince

What fashion trend do you wish would come back in style & why?

Crinkle vinyl zip up boots from Kinney's... I felt so cool!

If you were not a sales rep, what else would you do?
