The memory...  The last game of the 2011 World Series.  I attended the game with my Dad, an avid St. Louis Cardinal’s fan.  He had never attended a Championship Game and sadly this was the last game he attended.  It is a great father-daughter memory!

The hobby... I love to spend time in my garden.  There’s something about the feeling of dirt on my hands and coaxing flowers to grow.  I also have a slight obsession with my Kindle App - I have loved to read since I was a child.

The time of day... I’m not a morning person and it takes me several cups of coffee to get going.  I love the evenings and a dark sky.  A full moon is my favorite.

The color... YELLOW! I love it.  It makes me happy. Enough said.

The friend... I don’t have just one.  I have lifelong friends, my husband, friends that are cousins and my work friends.  All of them have shaped my life and made me who I am today.

The pet... my dogs.  We have always had a dog or two running around.  They complete my family.

The smell... I love the smell of my garden after it rains.  It just makes me happy.

The book... I love all books.  My latest guilty pleasure was reading the Outlanders series.  Time travel combined with a cute Scotsman - wow!

The piece of advice... My grandfather had the most fabulous work ethic and he always told me that hard work pays off.  I have to admit he was right!

The exercise... Yikes- not enough hours in the day but I love a good aerobic swim class.

The alternate job...   I always joke that I would love to flip houses.  HGTV is another guilty pleasure.

The song... Bon Jovi’s ‘Living on a Prayer’- it reminds me of my carefree teenage years.

The taste... Orange Snow cones—they make me happy and mark the start of Summer.

The accessory... Any big purse.  It holds everything that I could possibly need-from work files, super glue, gum to my laptop.

The TV show... I don’t watch a lot of TV but I love the HGTV channel.

The quote... “Hard work pays off”- Grandpa Stolarski
