What did you want to be growing up?
A ballerina
What motivates you to wake up and go to work?
In the wintertime, mostly my alarm clock and the promise of a good cup of tea.

Probably retire and volunteer?
What is the weirdest job you’ve ever had?
Handing out samples at Hickory Farms and trying not to eat the samples.
What do you do in your spare time?
Read, sew, sing in the choir, hang out with the family, travel or plan to travel, read . . .

A library? But a grocery store would probably be more practical.

My front porch in the summertime.
What is your favorite movie that you could watch a million times and never gets old?
All of the Muppet movies. We also have a collection of Christmas movies we watch every year – It’s a Wonderful Life, Love Actually, Miracle on 34th Street, and, of course, Muppet Christmas Carol.

The Mentalist

Too many to pick but the ones I own and go back to are written by Dorothy Sayers, Louise Penny, C.S. Lewis, and Terry Pratchett.
