Other hobbies include spotting (real) and collecting (fake) foxes, Spider Solitaire, playing April Fools' jokes on coworkers, and making folded book art (the only acceptable form of folding book pages, don’t you know?).

Colleen came here 30 years ago, left for a while and then came back because...it's the island. When she's not at the library she works on the endless remodel of her house, rat-proofing the crawl-space, hauling gravel for the driveway and applying her meager but hard-earned carpentry skills to baseboard trim.

Currently prefers listening to audio books rather than actually reading. Stephanie's family keeps her busy and entertained as well as their pug, Clark, nine hens (the numbers and names vary due to a very sly neighborhood fox), and they now have honey bees. Stephanie just recently learned how to swim, someday wishes to be able to do one pull up, and her favorite game to play is Words with Friends.
