Think back on your most memorable road trip.
My most recent memorable road trip was several years ago. It was an anniversary trip and we spent time exploring all the New England states. The states are beautiful and we had such a wonderful time.

What snack would you eat right now?
A fruit bowl with all my favorites sounds so good right now as long as they’re fresh. Cherries, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, mango, pineapple,papaya, cantaloupe,honeydew, grapes especially green grapes, blackberries, bananas I’m sure I’m missing some but you get the gist of it. Now I’m hungry for this tropical paradise. 😁
Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
When I was a young child I had barbie dolls as many young girls do. Growing up there wasn’t a lot of money for things past the essentials but that’s okay it taught me some great life lessons that I still practice today. Getting back to what I was saying, my dolls didn’t have the fancy sequined party dresses other girls dolls had, the tiny shoes or the many little accessories that go with them. What I did have the other girls didn’t was a box of Barbie clothes my grandmother made for them and the clothes even had elastic, zippers, buttons and snaps. My grandmother was an excellent seamstress. Oh how I regret getting rid of those clothes as when I no longer played with Barbies I didn’t want the clothes but I was too young to make that decision to give away such valuable items. I wish my mother had stepped in and kept them safe for me because I don’t know what happened to them.
What is your mission?
To be an upstanding American citizen treating people and animals with respect.
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
Our first impulse is to say yes, I want to live a long life and yes, that is mine as well.
But, I want to live a long life full of health , I don’t have daily pain but I don’t want it to accompany me as I age I want to be mentally capable of making the correct decisions. My grandmother, Hazel had dementia. I pray I never get it or my husband whose father had it I am a vegetarian for several reasons, to help the environment, I can’t stand the thought of a poor animal suffering and dying for me to eat it and also for my health and contributing to its longevity. Many people take at least one medication daily and they have a multitude of reasons for it that they can’t help. I feel very fortunate that I don’t have any prescriptions I need to take. As you age your loved ones die off and you become lonely . Yes, you have the younger generations but you’re never as close to them as you are with your immediate family. So yes, there are pros and cons to longevity that is more so than the average life span.
What could you do differently?
I could do a lot of things differently in my mind but since we can’t do that I have to only move forward in a positive manner.
What is your all time favorite automobile?
Well let’s see, if you were to ask my favorite type of car it would be this one.
How are you creative?
There are so many ways to be creative. I enjoy creating a reading journal , using a graphics program and creating tags online from digital scrapbook kits and baking. I also enjoy plotting out a flower and vegetable garden once the danger of frost is past.
Who are the biggest influences in your life?
My family. My family is always there to encourage me along the way. Just as I encourage them.
What cities do you want to visit?
Several years ago I really wanted to go to Boston and we did passing, through New York as we did. Boston is a large city and we walked and walked. It’s so beautiful there.
My newest destination I want to visit is NYC. I live in a rural area and don’t see a lot of big city life very often and I’m just fine with that but sometimes I like to experience the busier side of things.
We live 3 hours from DC.
An overseas trip I’d love to go on would be Galway, Ireland, from where my great grandmother traveled to America as a sixteen year old for the start of a new life.
