With this move came the return of her desire to work on stage, in front of a live audience... something she hadn't done since her late teens as a dancer in Las Vegas .Her activities included collecting Dogs (she once shared her home with 4 Great Danes and a Mastiff )  Currently she has a Labrador Retriever... MoJo. .  She enjoys needlepoint, sewing, reading, painting, gardening, and her latest love... her computer which she is using to write her first novel.
