During my free time I enjoy spending time with my pets (5 cats, 9 tortoises/turtles and 1 Lionhead rabbit) and family as well as watching movies, gardening, collecting Beanie Babies, 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 and have joined Wild Hogs Scooter Club. http://www.meetup.com/wildhogssc/  

I also volunteer my time with Fairchild Foundation to spay and neuter feral cats in Berks County.

My parents, Ray and Barbara, will celebrate their 44th wedding anniversary in December.  Their nicknames are Momma and Pappa Booger, and they have GrandPets instead of Grandkids.    Poppa Booger is sitting with Scrungy and Momma Booger is holding my nephew, Sir Louis.

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. 

My extended "fur" family includes 4 cats: Kallie Mae, Sir Louis, Tony and Abbigail and 3 Beagles: Chad, Romaine and Shiela.
