A Family
F I live on 2 acres with my partner-in-crime, Jimmy, our smelly
chocolate lab, Hatchet, and 8 kooky chickens. I have 2 witty
F and wonderful children. My daughter, Tori, is 29 years old and
my son, Daniel, is 27 years old. I have a perfectly sweet,
P adorable grandson, Atlas, who is 17 months old, and the apple
of his Grammy's eye.
R
O What do you like most about working at the Library?
F I enjoy working alongside so many fun, talented, dedicated
people. Everyone has their special talents at the library, and
I I'm thrilled to be learning from them. I especially like to see
L children's faces light up when they find the perfect book, or
get their first library card. I love that every day I work, the
E smell of books fills my head.
What do you like to read?
I enjoy reading mystery suspense novels, historical fiction and non-fiction books centered
around our amazing earth. I also cannot turn away any type of cookbook. My favorite series
is the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich. I love Stephanie's sassy, spunky, hilarious
adventures in bounty hunting.
What do you do in your spare time?
Cooking, gardening and woodworking are my therapies. I've been a beekeeper for
7 years. I enjoy spending time in the woods hiking or bow hunting. Spring turkey
season is my favorite time of year, gobble gobble. I love motorcycle adventures
with Jimmy. And, of course, hanging out with our precious grandbaby.
What would people be surprised to know about you?
That I still have a baby tooth in my mouth.
