11.  What would most improve the quality of your life?

The Dallas Cowboys winning the Super Bowl.  That would be a major moral boost around here 🙂

I’m a natural red-head… I’ve never once dyed my hair out of fear it would turn green.

I love to travel and my must see list is extensive….

South France is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. I could happily live there on a cliff side overlooking the sea.

I’ve never lived anywhere but Texas.

I have a life long goal to swim with a Great White Shark in South Africa.

I’m a huge Doctor Who fan, and David Tennant is my Doctor.

I love Winter and the possibility of snow.

I’m a morning person…..  after I’ve had my coffee.

I love spending Saturday mornings watching Football (Soccer) and I’m a Manchester City Fan.

I adore listening to music from the 30’s and 40’s.

Finally, I love Cooking and my kitchen is my happy place.
