travelling, baseball, bowling, movies, spending time with family/friends

I enjoy travelling with my hubby Steve and our 13 year old son Matthew. We have been to Israel, Hawaii, Florida, South and North Carolina, Texas, Alaska, California, Alberta and British Columbia. These were very memorable places of interest we chose and totally enjoyed ourselves seeing different landscapes and cultures and meeting nice people along the way.

I love playing baseball and watching and cheering our son on his home league. He is a terrific pitcher and first base player.

I also try to find time to fit in bowling, preferably 10 pin as I find it challenging getting those bowling balls to hit all the pins!

Lastly, I enjoy making time for friends and get together with family on special occasions and impromptu events with friends.
