How do you spend your spare time:

Reading, exercising, gambling...best of all, having my granddaughter Serena over to play as much as I can.

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It was a gift to Jer & James from Aunt Sheryl. They loved this book.

"Could I Have This Dance" by Anne Murray. And everyone knows how much I like to dance!

Favorite hour of the day and why:

Early morning (with a good cup of coffee!)

Favorite quote:

"Let go and Let God" (thanks to AA)

If you had to be an animal, which one and why?

More like an insect...a butterfly. I'd like to be able to fly around and land on beautiful flowers. To me, they are a sign of hope

Which actor/actress should play you in the story of your life:

Julia Roberts. She is humorous and serious at the same time (that's me to a "t")

If you were on Death Row, what would you choose as your last meal:

Moose Track Ice Cream and a Good Cup of Coffee

What was your first car:

Black Ford Falcon station wagon, that I had to share with Sheryl. I loved to drag Santa Fe in it.

What was your very first memory:

Since I had a concussion from a trip on my bike going down Indian Rock, I don't remember much. I loved summer playground and the games in the front yard of Iron St.

Favorite Crough Family memory:

Our vacation to San Diego to see big brother Mike on the USS Frederick. Grandma Jean wore Mickey Mouse Ears one night after our trip to Tijuana, Mexico...you guess the rest.

What sound do you love to hear:

Serena talking, giggling and calling for Grandma

What sound do you hate to hear:

The phone ringing late night/early morning....never a good thing.
