some tid-bits about Barb
mini panther mom
My husband and I adopted two black cats. We adopted our first in 2015 when he showed up on my patio and claimed me as his. From then on, we've been cat people and aim to adopt black cats, since they're the ones left in shelters due to silly superstitions.
love history & to travel
I'm really quite nerdy and enjoy walking in the footsteps of history. My first European excursion was to Rome and it felt like I was home. My husband and I spent a long while in the Roman Forum people watching and it felt amazing walking in Caesar's footsteps!
i LOVE lORD OF THE RINGS
My wedding was themed after Lord of the Rings (even had a Smaug cake! Yes, I know that's the Hobbit) and it got me through a really rough spot in my life. One of my favorite quotes is by Gandalf, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." -- I even dressed up like a hobbit to see it in the theatre recently... cuz nerd. LoL
