What’s your favorite feature of your home? I live in a townhome that has 6 skylight and high ceilings. I love all that air and light!
Where do you love to go on a date night? My favorite date night is to go for Sushi and then a movie at home, and then early to bed!
What’s music/album are you really into these days? Being the “older generation”, I gravitate to singers like Adele and Barbara Streisand.
If you could have a super-power, what would it be? I think it would be cool to read minds. But only when I want to.
What’s the best book you’ve read in the last 5 years? I have read a lot of good books, but I have no memory anymore, so the only one that comes to mind is “The Girl on the Train”‘ I am sure there were better ones though!
What’s something that amazes you? A brand new baby. I think it is such a miracle that this little person comes out of a mom’s belly a fully formed human being. Being a grandmother of 5, it blows me away every time.

Describe your ideal day: Go for a long walk or hike with Rosy and my husband, see the family for awhile, then eat and socialize with friends on my deck with a barbeque.
Favorite local place to eat? Kim’s Sushi. Totally delicious!! ( and a hole in the wall–my favorite kind of place)

What is your favorite store? Costco. A candy store for adults.
Mountains or Beach? Mountains all the way. I have to admit I am not a beach person. Afraid of the ocean, hate crowds and sand.

What inspires you? People that are committed to others, whether family, co-workers, or animals.
How would you describe your “style”? Casual chic.
