Hobbies
Jackie creates art as much as humanly possible. From her garden to her outfits, every day is a new possibility!
Bonus fun fact
When Jackie was quite young living on the farm and left to her own devices, she hung out with a lot of barn cats. Most children at this age would be trimming their own bangs with horrible results. Instead she trimmed the cats whiskers because it didn’t make sense to her that they all aren’t the same length. 😂 it was just a little trim and the cats didn’t seem to mind.
Her older sister later explained to her that the cats whiskers had to be different lengths, it’s cat physics!

Bonus fun facts
In her early twenties, Jackie rented a house on a half-acre that had a field she had to maintain. The rental company suggested she get a farm animal to eat the grass, so she borrowed one from a friend with a farm. Not long after, the cow escaped and with the help of her neighbor, a stranger who pulled over to help them, and a very long piece of rope, Jackie followed the cow down the street and into a cul-de-sac. After a bit of chasing, Jackie lassoed the cow and the quick-thinking stranger tied the other end of the rope to a tree!
It was quite the spectacle, neighbors came out to watch as the cow fought to get free.
They wound up tying the cow very closely to the back of a pick-up truck and walking it VERY slowly down the road, back home to the field.
Jackie promptly returned the cow to its original owner and has no future plans of cow ownership!
