HAVE YOU GONE THRU MENOPAUSE? IF SO, WAS IT HARD TO DEAL WITH: Forced by hysterectomy, and no, no hormones, few hot flashes.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE: My weight.

WHO IS THE ONE PERSON WHO HAS HAD THE GREATEST IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE AND WHY: My grandmother. She was strong in faith and taught me to just be kind. And she believed her kitchen was for cooking and dancing.

COULD YOU TAKE A VACATION AWAY FROM ALL TECHNOLOGY AND IF SO FOR HOW LONG: Yes, for a long time, but only if my children and grandchildren could go with me.

DO YOU KNIT, CROCHET, OR QUILT: Barely, but would love to learn to crochet better.

IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A TROPICAL ISLAND, WHAT 3 ITEMS WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE WITH YOU: My husband, Bible, and phone.

ARE YOU EMBRACING OR FIGHTING GRAY HAIR: I have been trying to embrace gray hair, but my hair is very long, and I keep giving in to the whole roots thing. I just colored 6-inch roots!

IF YOU HAD A TIME MACHINE AND COULD USE IT ONLY ONCE, WOULD YOU VISIT THE FUTURE OR THE PAST AND WHY: I would love to go back and talk to my grandmother one more time.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN EXTRATERRESTRIALS: I believe in UFOs, but since they are unidentified, I don’t know what they are! I believe something exists out there, but not sure what it is.

IF A MOVIE WAS MADE OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT ACTRESS WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY YOU? WOULD THE MOVIE BE AN ACTION FILM, COMEDY, DRAMA, HORROR, ROMANCE, OR SCI-FI: Sandra Bullock in a drama.

HOW OLD DO YOU FEEL: My mind feels like I am in my 30s, but my body pretty much feels like I am in my late 50s.

WHAT ADVICE WILL YOU OR HAVE YOU GIVEN TO YOUR 18 YEAR OLD GRANDCHILD/GRANDCHILDREN WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL: 1) You know how much I love you? Well God loves you more, talk to Him often, you can tell him anything, and He can fix things that I cant. Keep Jesus’ name on the tip of your tongue. 2) For what it’s worth: It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
