I love to spend time with my husband boating on Pickwick Lake. Fall brings one of my favorite passions, following college football. I've gardened since I was young and still love to plan and plant. I've also been known to find a treasure or two at estate sales.

It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could've done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. Whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. Theodore Roosevelt
