The people!  I work with a great bunch of people and the customers are happy to be there.  I’ve also learned so much.

Tell us about your family…
I come from a large family with 1 brother, 1 step-brother, 3 sisters and 2 step-sisters.  We are scattered all over the country so I don’t get to see them as often as I like.  I have one son, Cory and live with my partner Barry.

What is your favorite time of day/day of the week/month of the year?
My favorite time of day is the morning with my first cup of coffee.  Favorite day of the week is Sunday, which is usually relaxing with my other half.  Favorite time of year is spring when everything is turning green and brand new.

What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?
I started working on my Family Tree last year and can get absorbed in it for hours!  Haven’t found any skeleton’s in the closet but it’s very interesting.  I enjoy going to the movies and thrift shopping with my girlfriends.  You never know what you are going to find.  I love boating and floating on the lake although I don’t get to do it as much as I used to.

What is the farthest you have been away from home?
South Africa!  It’s a beautiful county.  The highlight of our trip was climbing to a place called Eagle Rock.  The view was amazing.  And of course seeing all the animals in their natural habitat.
