She loves to stay busy! We tease her that she is our "official duster" I do not think there is not a shelf in here she hasn't dusted! (With the help of her step ladder)!  Rosella grew up on a farm and also dairy farmed with her husband. Her & her husband Terry have two grown children & her face lights up when she talks about her family! When she cares about you, she cares from the bottom of her heart and she cares forever. I believe that's why her & Marilyn work so well together.
