I've been working at the Kent State library for 33 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Interior Design,which I use in my personal life only.I'm married (25 years), no children, 2 cats. I love reading,antiques, creating giftwrap design and CAKE! Also enjoy keeping up with fashion trends,especially shoes and skincare. My husband and I love animals and feed a variety of wild animals living on our property, including deer, squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs,birds and an occasional possum. Two years ago, we hand raised 2 baby chipmunks abandoned by their mother. (we thought she might have been killed by a predator) My favorite city is Chicago, which we visit at least once a year. (I think I must have lived there in a former life...) I consider myself an environmentalist and try to buy products accordingly. The only other country I've been to is Canada, but hope to see Europe, China and Greece, to mention a few.
