Personal Info....
During my free time I enjoy spending time with my pets (8 cats and 9 tortoises/turtles) and family as well as watching movies, gardening, collecting Beanie Babies, making catnip toys, listening to music (especially Reggae), going shopping and traveling--I have not been anywhere but the shore lately but I have traveled to Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Jamaica (my favorite spot), South Dakota, Las Vegas, Oregon, Boston, Miami and a few other places in between. I like riding my Pink Scooter around town !!
I also volunteer my time with Fairchild Foundation to spay and neuter feral cats in Berks County and currently serve at the Executive Director of the non-profit group www.fairchildcat.org -- FIND US ON FACEBOOK.
My parents, Ray and Barbara, will celebrate their 51st wedding anniversary in December. Their nicknames are Momma & Pappa Booger--they have GrandPets instead of Grandkids.
My sister, Lori, is happily married to an Englishman named Derek, who has 2 children, Nikki and Ryan, that live in England. I am also a Great Auntie to sweet little Alyssa, Corey & baby Molly.
My extended "fur" family includes 2 Beagles: Romaine and Spirit.
