When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling back to my home in Southwest Louisiana to care for my Mother and spend time with my family. We love to can fruits and vegetables and are very active in our church and community. I like to take my Mom to visit her friends and family around the state, as well as to historic places in our family’s past.
