During my free time I enjoy spending time with my pets (8 cats, 10 tortoises/turtles and 2 rabbits) 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 also head up Berks Female Social Gatherings Meetup  http://www.meetup.com/women-248/

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 45th 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 3 cats: Kallie Mae, Sir Louis and Tony as well as 3 Beagles: Chad, Romaine and Spirit.  Little Abbigail crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2010 and is sadly missed.
