Loves shopping....

She still thinks that everyone orders everything from catalogs. Everything.

Really enjoys art...

She may or may not be getting a statue of my husbands head for us for Christmas. I can't wait to open that box.

Likes to share her heritage....

Once wrote out a family tree for me. She went back seven generations. Unfortunately, she knew no ones names past her grandparents. Instead of just stopping, she kept going and listed 16 great great grand parents as " ???? Born ? - Died ?". Very informative.

Cares about her neighbors...

She is still feuding with a life long friend and neighbor over a line spray painted in the road. Apparently there is some confusion between markings from road crews and a possible link to a drug ring using a spray painted line in the road as a covert indication of their presence and operation on their street.

Has seen places...

She loved her extended visit in Holland. She told me in great detail about the tulips, her friend's trip to the hospital, and the long drive home. Yes... Drive. She spoke for an hour and failed to mention she was talking about Holland, Michigan rather than the country. I am sure she found my story from my visit to actual Holland confusing.

Keeps up with her finances....

She keeps her receipts for everything. This came in handy when she was screaming at her brother about some wood and sandpaper purchased over a decade ago. She won that argument.

Is a collector...

Has kept every greeting card given to her for the past twenty five years...
