We have a wide range of things we like. From sports  to traveling. We share many of the same hobbies. We both love football, NASCAR, shopping, Medieval Faires, flea markets, movies, music, and of course, our cats. 

We are slowly making our way to different Renaissance Faires around the Midwest.  We love to dress up and have old fashion fun.

 
Terry is involved in Box 13 Fire Associates which is a volunteer backup unit for the paid Urbana Fire Department in Urbana.  They support the department with fire and EMS runs and with local fundraisers and fire prevention education. 

 He also likes comic books and Star Wars. His favorite football team is Dallas Cowboys. Anyone would know this by looking at our recreation room. The whole room is filled with Dallas Cowboys memorabilia including a piece of the original  turf from Dallas Stadium plus a piece from the 90's. It also has his Star Wars collection which he keeps saying he is going to stop collecting, but I will believe that when I see it.

If I (Gloria) am at home I am usually reading a book or on the computer. I am totally addicted to eBay. My parents owned an antique shop for 13 years, so I love old things and love to search eBay for new and interesting items. I am also trying to enter all the information I have on our families, so many times you can find me typing in facts that I have learned over the years. Surnames we are searching are:
Oakley, Rostofer, Dixon, Herrold, Claar, McClain, Anderson, Malone, Cox, Dunlap, Wade, and too many others to remember.

I really shouldn't complain about Terry's collecting habits because along with his stuff in our rec room, we have a bumper of Mike Skinner's (my favorite NASCAR driver) and a tire of Dale Earnhardt's. We picked up the bumper at a show in Dayton, Ohio when Mike was there signing autographs. The tire we picked up when we went to the Brickyard 400.

I collect a number of items also.  I love Niagara Falls and love to collect older souvenirs and pictures of the Niagara area.  I also collect local historical items and anything that may relate to my relatives.  

As I mentioned above, we love our cats. We currently  have five cats:  Dusty, Haley, and Jazz, Erin, and Donegal. Check out our babies page for pictures of our babies. You can also learn how they got their names.
