Q.What natural talent do you wish you had
A. The gift of a wailing, chill-inducing singing voice.

Q.Your most prized posession
A. My puppy, although I would be hard pressed to prove that I own HIM.
Q.What makes you happy
A. Great friends, sunshine, fiery wit, productive days, digging in my garden, a sore face and a clinched belly from laughing, a challenging game of Scrabble, a fresh mani/pedi, clean sheets, a completed project and new makeup, in no particular order.
