What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
Besides reading, walking and hiking one thing I haven’t done in a few months that I enjoy doing is playing scary hidden object games. I enjoy challenging myself.
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
Mister Ed’s Elephant Museum & Candy Emporium is a one-of-a-kind attraction that you do not want to miss on your trip to Gettysburg! Located just a short distance from the historic downtown, Mister Ed’s features more than 900 varieties of candy, 100 flavors of fudge, and more than 12,000 elephant figurines on display. You can also grab freshly roasted peanuts to snack on as you take a walk through the gardens or enjoy one of the special events that are hosted throughout the year.

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
These are my two cats Charlie is the black and white kitten, 7 months old. Iris is the tiger stripe , 9 years old. I want them to know how much I love them and they will always have a home with us. 💙🩷🐾🐾
Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.
Though you all know me by the name Deanne, it’s not actually my first name
I started going by my middle name, Deanne when I was 13 because I like it better than my actual first name which is Aprul. My Mom named me after my dad’s birth month. As you can see she wanted to spell it differently as well.
Aprul
The fertile one,” also, “she who opens for fertilization,” based on the Latin aperilis or aprilis, “the opening thing,” in allusion to the month of April, when the earth opens for fertilization. April Name Origin: Latin.
What’s your dream job?
Dream job you say? Ask yourself, is there even any such thing? A dream job implies things will be easy , no stress , no worries and everything will work out dandy. But in reality there’s no such thing as a “dream job” If there was, we’d all be there and no one would work the ordinary jobs. Whether you’re at a warehouse, in an office or working at the local fast food place we all have good and bad days at work that can be so full of frustration. Doesn’t matter if you’re answering to the boss man or you’re fortunate enough to be your own boss there will be challenges and start up costs if you’re doing it on your own. There are no stress free dream jobs, if you’ve found one please let me know.
What makes a good leader?
A good leader is someone you respect and trust. Who will make the right choices for you.
If you could un-invent something, what would it be?
The gun is what I would un-invent.
Trigger warning death -suicide
Guns here in the US cause way too many deaths. Too easily accessible. Too easy to just grab a gun and shoot someone over a minor disagreement. Too many mass shootings, school shootings, domestic violence shootings, very young children grabbing improperly secured guns and shooting themselves or young siblings. My son ( the one whose wife just had twins ) is a police detective. Police get shot by mentally unstable people. When he was doing his police training before he even became an officer he told me as part of his training when he was doing a ride along with another officer and he was there to just observe. One of the saddest cases he told me about was it was over Thanksgiving weekend and the parents had just returned home from visiting family and their 14 year old son didn’t want to go when they returned home they found him on the couch and he had ended it all. Without that gun he wouldn’t have been able to do that .
Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?
I feel loved when he unexpectedly brings me tea in the morning. When we share a laugh, a special look. When I looked it into my children’s eyes after their birth. When I’m tired and want to relax and my cats lay on me and purr.
Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
I am happier when I get rid of clutter. Clearing out things in my house makes my mind feel clearer and with the open space in rooms I think of new ways to get out what I already have to redecorate the room.
