Are you more of a night or morning person? I am a morning person. I’m usually the first awake and although it may take me an hour, or so, to fully get going, I hit my energy peak early. I’ve become the opposite of my youth, when I was a night owl.

What are your feelings about eating meat? I have very distinct feelings about eating meat. From research, study, and personal observation, it should be eaten sparingly, if at all, for the good of the land, as well as human and animal health. The global livestock industry effects dwindling supplies of freshwater, destroys forests and grasslands,…

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? My family, and I, do make special holiday treats. My moma makes her version of ‘fruitcake’, that’s a delicious blend of candied fruit, nuts, gram crackers , and eagle brand milk. It freezes beautifully and we all look forward to it. My step-father’s…

Name your top three pet peeves. My top three pet peeves: Unkept promises. This is a big one, for me. A person’s word, is their honor, and when promises are made all endeavor should go into keeping it. Throwing the word ‘love’ around. If you don’t mean it, don’t say it. Lights, or T.V., left…

Who are your current most favorite people? My current most favorite people are my 3 year old granddaughter, Mazzy, who I have the pleasure of babysitting 2-3 times a week, my daughter, Dany, who is my rock, and so many others, friends and relatives, who complete my family circle. ♥️

What are your favorite animals? My favorite animals are my loyal fur babies😊. Dogs have been companions, protectors, and helpers of man for over 30,000 years (according to found archaeological evidence), and our 2 big boys, Woodrow and Tommy, are loved family members. There’s no better alarm system than the barks, and growls, of a…

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? Beach or mountains? Both have merit. The soothing waters of the ocean lapping at the sandy shore, a salt tanged breeze gently blowing. I always feel refreshed, and cleansed, after a trip to the beach. However, the mountains hold a special place in my heart. I chalk…

What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals? My family’s top 3 favorite meals: Tacos: good ole corn tortillas, filled with ground turkey (used to be beef), cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and cilantro. Nothing fancy, served up with Spanish Rice, salsa, and guacamole. Spaghetti: wonderful pasta, Parm cheese, and the best tomato sauce around! A…

Do you trust your instincts? I do trust my instincts. The trouble comes when I don’t listen, or act, upon that inner urge. I’m very empathetic and can usually get a pretty good read on a room. However, instincts are useless unless focus, and action, come to bear. Through the years I’ve become more successful…

What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? My favorite month of the year is April. Spring, in the Hill Country of Texas, is a lovely site. BlueBonnets cover huge expanses, along with Indian Paintbrush, Winecup, Prickly Poppy, and a host of other wildflowers. It’s an explosion of color, and life, making the area a…
