When I am not working, I love spending time with my daughters and my European Doberman, Bader. I am a bonafide country girl, so I feel right at home next to a bonfire or at the fishing hole. My favorite hobby is rescuing hospice plants from the discount shelf at Lowes. My house plant hospice habit has made me the proud parent of over 100 plants. I guess you could say plants really trip my trigger!
