Musically she prefers Classical Music, especially opera, and religious music that focuses on traditional hymns. Sewing, embroidering and digitizing are a passion that consumes her spare time. If she is not in her sewing room, look for her in her garden. Snakes that take up residence in her flower beds will keep her from working in them!
