"One of my favorite things to do is go shopping with my granddaughters. We look for bargains," Huggins said.
"I also like to look in antique shops, at flea markets, garage sales, and auctions for bargains," Huggins said.
"I collect Precious Moments items and my husband, Eddie, likes to collect old spurs. Several years ago he brought a pair of old Crockett spurs at a yard sale and sold them last year for more than he paid for them," Huggins said. "I like to hold on to the things I buy."
"Eddie and I grew up together but didn't start dating until our senior year in high school," Huggins said. "I think it was after church, we went to get a Coke or something and it went from there."
Huggins said they have been married 44 years and have twin sons and three granddaughters.
"My husband said if he had known grandchildren was so much fun, we would have had them first," Huggins said. "They are wonderful."
Huggins said she plays the organ at Lee's Chapel Assembly of God Church.
"It was 45 years ago that our pastor and his wife was going to buy a new piano for the church. The pastor asked me and the other pianist to go to help pick out the piano," Huggins said. "Plunkett's Music Store also had an organ. The pastor said 'We are going to get the organ also and you can learn to play that.'"
Huggins said her mother saw to it that she had piano lessons as a child.
"I was about seven years old when I started. I liked to play but not to practice. My mom made me practice at least an hour at a time," Huggins said. "Now I thank my mother for making me stick with the lessons.
"I remember when I was knee-high to a grasshopper our church had what it called the booster band. All the children sang in the booster band," Huggins said. "We grew up learning all the children's gospel songs.
"We have always had music in the house. I can listen to it all, but gospel music is my favorite," Huggins said.
Huggins said she likes to cook and every Sunday fixes lunch for the whole family.
"My mom taught home economics at Muldrow High School. She taught guys and girls how to make hot rolls and other goodies. I was in grade school and I would go over and eat what they made," Huggins said.
"But it was my mother-in-law who taught me how to cook," Huggins said. "She taught me how to cook with a pinch here and a pinch there. Mostly I just watched how she did it."
Huggins said, "One of the dishes I learned from her and which I get a lot of requests for is chicken and dressing," she said.
"I think chocolate or coconut pie is the Huggins family favorite," Huggins said.
"We also love animals. Since we have been married, you name it, we have had every kind of animal on our farm," Huggins said. "We have had everything from a squirrel monkey to a llama."
Huggins said they have had sheep, goats, mules, horses, dogs, and peacocks, to name a few.
"There hasn't been a dull moment around here," Huggins said.
