Hobbies

I have a wonderful garden in my back yard full of fruit, vegetables and flowers. It is my happy place. I also volunteer in Luseland in many departments. I am very community minded and help out in any place I am needed. I also love reading.  The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go!

I was on the Luseland Discovery Daycare Board for 5 years
