Loves all things art! Give me some paints and a canvas and I’ll be whisked away to my happy place. Easy going, loves nature, gardening, cooking, listening to piano music, and spending time with family and friends. Enjoys breakfast at Tiffany’s (in our library) on Sunday morning with my honey at our favorite table in front of two large windows while birds serenade us with their sweet songs. It’s the simple things in life that matter to me the most.

Dee Long, Assistant Precinct Administrator
Faster than a soccer striker, able to conquer piles of laundry in a single week, possesses magical multi-tasking “make it happen” scheduling skills, able to exist on five hours sleep and sweet tea … it’s Super Mom! Special feats include spending time with her family of three beautiful offspring, son-in-love, six four-legged fur-kids, and two grand-puppies (all humans need a dog, and every dog needs a cat); hanging with friends; watching sports; making crafts and flower arrangements; road trips; and live music on a patio with chips and salsa!
Freida Landerholm, Office Administrator
Send me outside on a nice day with my lawnmower and I’m happy. Loves spending time with family and friends. My heart is full as I watch my precious grandchildren grow into these adorable little people. Somehow the word got out that I love animals, as pets seem to find me because they know I’ll care for them. I often have a litter of kittens around my gentle 100 lb. dog. Loves, loves, loves ALL things chocolate!
