My favorite hobbies are reading, history, arts and crafts, sewing, quilting, making wreaths, scrapbooking. My favorite activity is crafting. I LOVE to garden, I grow pots and pots of flowers and veggies. This summer we grew lots of tomatoes and they were Soooo tasty. The yellow pear tomatoes were just wonderful. We had tomatoes nearly every day!! I also grew lettuce and herbs. The basil took over!!<br>

<br> Our cats Sophie & Snickers and I watch hubby fish. He throws a worm in the river and reels them in. Bummer that none of them are "eaters" though. It's relaxing after a day on the keyboard to read out on the deck with the cats and watch the ducks! I've never seen a cat who loves to fish like Snickers! When hubby catches a small fish, Snickers is RIGHT THERE. She'd sit by the fishing pole all day if we would let her! <br>
