How long have you lived in Newtown? Weâve been here for around ten years. We moved from Rockland County in New York.
What do you like to do in your free time? I ride my horses and I do yoga for myself. I like to read, and I like to garden. I make my own aromatherapy products â my kids call it my witch stuff.
Do you have a favorite book? I tend to read a lot of yoga books, but I just read Waiting For Autumn by Scott Blum. It was a really good book.
Do you have a favorite travel destination? We went to Europe two years ago as chaperones when my daughter won the national livestock judging as a student at Nonnewaug High School, and was competing there. We started in Scotland and went to England, France, Luxembourg, and then home from Germany. The whole thing was amazing. Edinburgh Castle in Scotland was unbelievable. We saw some of the farms and local people, too, which was really nice.
What is the best thing about Newtown? Itâs so pretty. I grew up in Queens, so to me, itâs absolutely gorgeous here.
If you could spend a day with anyone, who would you choose? My family. Just for hanging out. Itâs so nice when everybody is home.
Do you have a personal philosophy? Stay grounded, but follow your heart.
What is the craziest thing you have done? My husband wanted me to dye my hair, so I went out and bought purple hair spray and came down to dinner with purple hair. He didnât think it was as funny as I did.
