What is your favorite childhood memory? The beach trips we made every year to Hatteras (it was our only vacation). Since all six of us traveled in a four door sedan with a week’s worth of groceries, we didn’t take any toys and had to entertain ourselves with the sand and sea shells and the surf.
What is your favorite music and bands?Beach Boys, Celtic Woman, Rod Stewart (particularly his remake of classics from Sinatra and that era), Kate Campbell (a Southern regional songwriter), classic rock from the 70’s and early 80’s when I was a little younger, and classic Christmas songs (I sing them in the car all year)
What are your hobbies? Reading (mysteries, sci fi/fantasy, historical novels and biographies), collecting Christmas ornaments from our trips (can never have too many), and collecting antiques like tin chocolate molds and furniture (so my kids will roll their eyes and say “whatever am I ever going to do with THIS?” after I die)
