I live in Niagara Falls, NY the "Honeymoon Capital of the World" and I love it.
I work for FedEx Trade Networks as a Customer Service Coordinator. I assist in clearing overseas freight that got "stuck" in US Customs for more information necessary for clearance. I also work with other government agencies such as FDA, DOT, USDA, Fish & Wildlife etc. It is a very interesting job and I really like it.
My favorite cookbook is Better Homes & Gardens.
May passions are learning more & more about my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, my grandchildren, cooking, reading, music, good movies & the "wild wild web"!!!!
I really don't have any pet peeves, I generally live & let live. I find I'm much more serene that way.
