STOUGHTON - I was asked to write a short introduction about myself, but I’m finding this difficult. I would prefer to write about others and their events.
My husband Frank and I have been married for 43 years and I often joke it’s because no one else would put up with him. We have a son and a daughter.
We have lived in the area for about 14 years. We have also lived in Ontario and Alberta, but now call Stoughton home.
I love to stay busy. I enjoy helping my husband in construction with our company, FSK Construction Services. I tend to be a clown at home, as laughter is the best medicine, but Frank tells me I belong in the circus as a clown.
On days off, when I get one, I build elaborate purple martin birdhouses, and also do pebble art. In the winter months, I will sit and knit or crochet while watching TV. I cannot just sit and watch the tube.
I do enjoy a good hockey or baseball game, and I am a fan of the Calgary Flames and the Toronto Blue Jays. We try to go to Estevan Bruins games as much as possible as well.
Gardening is another enjoyment I have. Nothing like fresh vegetables that are homegrown with the extras going into jars or the freezer.
My love for horses has always remained my passion, and I own a beautiful Arabian Appaloosa mare. She is my time away from stresses in life.
Over the years I have worked in retail, but due to going deaf in one ear, it is a difficult job now when there is surrounding noise.
I am looking forward to sunny days, and time in the saddle and, of course, writing.
