1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
A habit that I wish I had started earlier in life was to listen before just starting to talk. When you don’t listen fully to the story someone is sharing then you aren’t helping. When you don’t listen you miss out on the wise words of others. Listening to others is what I really wish I learned how to do much earlier in life, to be able to help others with their own words.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
Concerns I have for the future aren’t much. I can remember hearing my grandparents complain about the future of our country and young people. My grandparents are long gone. I now hear the same things from my age group. We think young people are lazy, the government is taking our money, etc. These words were true for 1950 and now 2019. If we are kind, loving and respectful our future is always bright.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
Traveling is so exciting; my husband and I call it adventuring even if it’s just a road we have never traveled on before. Meeting new people, seeing beautiful wild things and having a travel partner makes traveling always a fun adventure. Traveling down a road you have never been down is always a new life adventure.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
What I like the most about my age. EVERYTHING! In my 20’s I just wanted to start my life. In my 30’s and 40’s I saved lives but I was dying on the inside. In my late 40’s I learned to love my body and take more adventures. My kids are grown and amazing so it’s time for me. Very soon I will be in my 50’s. I hope I can learn to listen more and help more young people to love themselves and enjoy life.
