11. When I was small, my father told me he went to Borstal with Gene Autry. I believed him.

12. My family has labeled me an obsessive compulsive with ADD.

13. We started building our house 30 years ago and it is still not finished.

14. My husband and I just marked our 32nd wedding anniversary and to celebrate, we just completed a 2,700 km driving tour of BC, including a side trip, in order to take our dogs to Barkerville, only to find that dogs are not permitted in Barkerville, but we took them in anyways.

15. I have never been without a dog in 58 years. I have only been    bitten by a dog once, full in the face, when I was four. I still have a scar from it. It was not my dog. It was a cocker spaniel. I am still not particularly fond of cocker spaniels. I learned early that not all dogs are trustworthy, nor all people, but dogs are generally more trustworthy than people and have governed my life accordingly.

16. My grandfather sailed around the Horn under canvas.

17. I collect dragonflies.

18. I make wonderful soups and incredible steak and kidney pie.
