1. Given a choice, which profession would you love to choose? Homemaker and mother...I have a BSN from the Medical University of South Carolina, but have rarely worked out of the home.

2. What pleases you more – cooking or baking? I am pretty much a savory cook, but I am beginning to branch out into bread making with the help of our sweet Kitty, of Kitty's Kozy Kitchen! We live near each other, and have been friends for years.

3. Which movie is you favorite movie? The Quiet Man with John Wayne
