Name: Laura Marie Pennachi
Nickname(s):
Before I lost my baby fat (which I still have), Robyn would call me Little Missy Moo Moo
Age:
50—I love getting old, younger people forgive the elderly!!
Crough Connection:
I am blessed to have "Sister Mary" as my Mom (Mary Crough Pennachi)
Family (spouse/kids/pets/etc.):
My wonderful Mother; older sister Robyn & her husband Tom (California), nephew Jordan Thomas (25) and niece Kayla Hamlin (19); younger brother Nick (Hawaii); younger sister Karyn & her husband Gary (Vancouver, WA), niece Sullivan Faye (15) and nephew Nathan Thomas (13).
Profession:
I'm retired and working on getting a new profession. Until then, I pay bills at Mom's and now my house…no utilities have been turned off, so I must be doing something right!!!
How do you spend your spare time:
Good question. I'm "waiting for the sunshine" so I can garden…lately, I've had a few "Martha Moments" and I get creative. Usually ends in a creative mess, but I do try!!
Best book you've ever read:
I have a lot of self-help books that don't seem to be helping, but I keep reading (here's hoping!)
Favorite movie of all time:
Can't think of any favorite movies—most things I watch I forget soon after the credits roll
Favorite song of all time:
When I listen to music (not often), it's something by Kenny G (soft jazz)
Favorite hour of the day and why:
Evening hour when I can finally exhale, get my sweats on, tell myself I did my best for the day, and get cozy in front of the TV to do some "mindless watching"
Favorite quote:
"Don't take life seriously…it's not permanent"
If you had to be an animal, which one and why?
A cat. They have nine lives, and since I have already gone through 8, one more is enough. Plus, they don't seem to have any problems sleeping!!!!
Which actor/actress should play you in the story of your life:
An actress with many faces and a warped sense of humor, but no name comes to mind.
If you were on Death Row, what would you choose as your last meal: Who could think about food at a time like this?
What was your first car:
A Ford Maverick Grabber…a graduation present from Mom & Dad. I loved that car. It was green and looked like a giant frog, perfect for St. Patty's Day. Years later, I sold it to buy a diamond ring.
What was your very first memory:
Wondering what it was like to get old…I'm still wondering!
Favorite Crough Family memory:
Since I live in Seattle, I don't have a chance to visit much, but when I do, it's always very memorable.
What sound do you love to hear:
I love to hear humming. Charles would always be happily humming.
What sound do you hate to hear:
Uh Oh and Oooops are not a good thing!
"We Can Do It!"
Laura: When I got home last night I found a picture of me & my Ford frog!! I haven't read about the scanning technique so I just took a picture of the picture & put that on the computer, not real clear but good enough.
Laura: I did a couple mosaic pieces last summer & this is the 1st one: A bench top that says "Charla" - which is the name of our house (Charles & Laura's).
Doesn't everyone name their house???

Hey there Laura enjoyed your info.
Did Uncle Jim sell your Mom and Dad that car? Ha! I remember the time you and Lisa came to visit me in Manhattan when I was going to college there. I know we went out to the Lake, those were the days when I thought it was really cool to get as tan as I could.Oh Brother!Anyway, you sound great and it is always fun to hear from you. Take Care
Love
Cousin Cindy

I enjoyed your profile. Growing up in Seattle doesn't diminish "Crough-ness" at all. You owned a Ford, love to farm, (gardening counts) and adore your family. Wishing you sunshine, Kelly
Laura, How you have overcome obstacles in your life and continue on with your smile, makes my day. You are so beautiful!!! Love Pammy Pancake
Laura, Every visit you made to K.C. was as if you had "never been away" despite the yrs. in-between. I know you will alway "Rock the Boat" (but don't tip it over). Inside joke folks! I love, A. Barbara
I just got my password problem fixed and wanted to respond even if it is late. I loved your interview, Laura.
It has always been so special to have you as a cousin. Enjoy the spring and St. Paddy's Day tomorrow.
The birdbath for Grandma is so sweet.
What a lovely way to remember her.
Love,
Sheryl
