PERSONAL MEMORY
Steve and I took a trip to Australia after our first year of marriage. It was pretty much perfect- except for the getting seasick on a boat part… & The first Lakeland service in our current building. HOBBIES
Musical theater, theater, movies, documentaries, travel (especially to see musicals or places in movies or documentaries), reading and trivia/ board games. Being with family and friends is just about the best thing I can spend my time doing. |
