Art, Crafts, Home DIY, Hiking, Camping, Entertaining
I love to immerse myself in art and crafts when having some alone time. It centers my soul and gives me inner peace.
Knowing that my husband and I can accomplish a lot of tasks at home is a huge sense of accomplishment and reward for both of us.
I enjoy camping, hiking and entertaining with friends, family and our 11 grandchildren. There's nothing more rewarding than surrounding ourselves with smiles, laughs, and the great outdoors.
