About Me:

I have been a Real Estate Agent for the past 15 years. Live in very rural Somerset County, Pa. I have many interest, but my passions are my family, friends, pets, gardening. I enjoy attending car shows with my husband Dan, he in his 68 Chevelle Malibu, and I in my 98 Mercedes Benz SLK230. I am a member of the Somerset Garden Club, Past President of the club, and District VI Awards Chairman. I am a past Master Gardener. Enjoy very much interacting with people very much like myself. .

Favorite area of home improvement:

Gardening!

I replaced brown grass & mud with a raised flower bed, patio & flower beds. Nearly every plant benefits the butterfly, as it is either a nectar or host plant. I added a walkway and white ...»
