She enjoys reading, writing poetry, and watching black-and-white movies on TCM. When she can’t find good movies, she loves watching drama. Her favorite picture shows are any and all movies based on her favorite past-time author, Jane Austin. She is not an active person, but she does enjoy doing yard work in her flower beds. Finding quiet time in her many sitting areas in her yard is something she also loves to do in the spring and fall. Taking nature walks on her plot of land is another enjoyment of hers, as she passes time when outside in her yard. Here are a few more of her favorite things: cards, African elephants, music, and books. Her favorite books are the Word of God and the dictionary. She is an employee at one of the Lauderdale County elementary schools in her hometown. Although her positions have changed over the course of her twenty-plus years of employment, she currently enjoys working in the computer lab, where she serves the entire campus body of students.
