The best purchase I’ve ever made

I would say our home, its on a golf course!

Trend that needs to go away or come back...

In light of the last year, definitely mask wearing needs to go away! What needs to come back is more respect, kindness and appreciation for all that we have in this world.

Something I like doing the old-fashioned way ...

Even though most of our banking is online, I still like writing actual checks to pay monthly bills.

Something everyone should do at least once in their lives...

Feel the joy of really helping someone in need.

Favorite meal to eat or cook...

I have a country style rib recipe that is a family favorite, the sauce is homemade and a secret.

What I’d rate 10 out of 10...

My career in this industry.

Most organized + unorganized part of your life?

The most organized part is when I am planning a party at my home. The most disorganized is for sure my closet!

How I recharge and relax...

Up north sitting by a lake with family and friends with a really great glass of Chardonnay.

Early bird or night owl?

Mostly early bird; however, late night Bonnie comes out occasionally!

I’d max out my credit card at:

Any kitchen store.
