5. What do you do in real life? I'm a stay at home Mom, and a volunteer for several organizations

6. What do you do for fun, besides chatting? I LOVE to bake, and do handiwork (cross stitch, knit, crochet etc.), read (other than children's stories) when I find the time, and of course, spend time with my family. I also play guitar, piano, organ and sing, and write a bit of music.

7. Personal motto? Relax!!

8. Favorite Earth's Children book? That's a hard one. Clan of the Cave Bear, I think.

9. Least favorite Earth's Children book? Definitely Plains of Passage.

10. Favorite Earth's Children character? I always liked Iza and Nezzie, because I can see myself in them.

11. Favorite H.C.C. moment? Well, all the 'parties' were great (P and BB and Jac's birthday) but I also liked ec's NFH story. Although I'm sure it wasn't fun at the time, it made a great story!

12. Why did you decide to come to the chat in the first place? Well, I've tried a few other chat rooms, but they were awful! I was hoping just to find a few people to meet with occasionally, but I found all of you instead!

13. If you were a character in an Earth's Children book, which tribe would you belong to? Hadumai. Although we don't have six living generations, I have a large and close extended family.

14. What is your "bird"? Would you believe, Skylark.

15. What is one thing about yourself that the H.C.C.'s don't know? We have a large children's library in our home--over 1000 books! Reading is so important, and we try to encourage it at every opportunity. I also like to read in my 'spare' time, although it's often just a few pages before I go to sleep (usually with the light still on and a book in my hand).
