My search for my ancestors is only one of my interests, I also enjoy collecting vintage and antique housewares including McCoy pottery and depression era glassware, kitchen utensils, vases, small furniture, bottles, Christmas decorations, history books, anything old. I also like teasure-hunting, whether it be a flea market, yard sale, auction, thrift store or eBay.
My mother taught me to sew at a very young age and I was sewing my own clothes for school before I was ten. I also learned to knit and crochet from my mother at the same time.
I love to bake and I specially like baking at Christmas-time. I like to give baked goods for gifts to freinds and neighbours. I also collect cookbooks and rolling pins.
My father taught me the love of nature and gardening. I also share his interest in history, he always found the history of Canada fascinating, taking us to historically significant destinations on our vacations. I married a collector also. My husband collects sport cards, sports memorabilia, games, toys, keychains, model cars (GTOs), banks,Stephen King books.

My family is a very important part of my life also. I have six brothers and sisters and many nieces and nephews. and some grandnieces and grandnephews. I have two married sons and five grandchildren that I'm very proud of. I also have a cat, two dogs and four s/w fish.
