Another hobby is the study and observation of hummingbirds. She finds the "attitude" of the tiny birds fascinating, for such a small bird they have a real competitive spirit and great interaction. She has several feeders in her yard and looks forward to welcoming the "hummers" back each summer. She also loves gardening - especially roses. A favorite indoor passion is shopping with her sister. Over the years they have become great bargain hunters and like everything from scouring yard sales to visiting local shops when traveling. She is active in her church with the RCIA program and is an Eucharistic Minister. Stephanie also belongs to the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, which focuses on devotion to family and country. |
