Something people don’t know about you?

  • I’ve never had one favorite color – I like to use all the colors.

Favorite hobby?

  • I like to garden. I especially like the part where you get to eat.

Favorite food?

  • I really like food, and I cannot pick a favorite. Pretty much anything like homemade is my favorite. I like to cook.
