Interests
My passion changed from Skiing to Golf after I retired. I'm a 15 handicap who constantly tries to move that lower ! LOL ! My love for travel through Europe and the U.S. started many years ago but are not done yet. I've been to France , Italy, Spain , England, Ireland and Scotland and many US states with hopes to do more in the years ahead. When I'm not helping look after grandchildren or my special needs son who lives on his own with assistance. I love cooking and maintaining the house. I also maintain our pool, spa and yard . I like to dabble with small woodwork projects around the house to keep it all in shape. There's not many things I can't do at home by myself.
