Beach vacation but
have enjoyed the mountains a fair amount of time too.
What is your favorite quote?
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt
What is your ideal Saturday?
Mostly spending time
with our four kids in the various sports they participate in. Meal times and
traveling or visiting friends and or family.
What person, alive or deceased, would you most want to have dinner with?
Both my deceased
parents. In particular my father because he had a unique way of approaching
things in life due to his studies and influence studying to be a Catholic
Jesuit priest for a year in his early adult life. He would always joke with me
and my five other siblings about why he and my mom had 6 kids…cheap child labor
to do all the chores around the house and yard. It’s true!! My mom was a saint
in raising me and my three brothers and two sisters---she always seemed to put
us first when it came to buying clothes or having a little something extra for
you when heading out to a party or gathering with friends-lots of patience!!!.
They must have done something right because we all still like each other and
gather together for several events throughout the year to celebrate various
events in life. Lots of great memories. Thanks mom & dad-you were and will
always be the best.
