I have always loved books! I love to see them in a case, touch them, look at the pictures and read them. I can spend all day in a book store and forget to go to eat. I can look at the magazines, puzzles, games and people watch. This has not changed, but over the last 12 years, I have gone more to reading on my tablet or listening to books. Buying them, storing them and carrying sacks full home has become too cumbersome.
I learned to knit when I was in grade school and still like doing that occasionally. I love to look at the patterns and dream. My favorite things to knit if I were to choose now are baby clothes, socks and dish clothes. I have made sweaters, scarfs, hats, Christmas stockings, vests pillows and many other things.
I like to walk, but that is harder for me than it used to be now. I played softball one summer as a preteen and I was HORRIBLE. I played volleyball in gym, but we didn’t have a team at my school. I had an average in bowling the mid 160’s on my college league, but the only trophy I ever got was Most Improved Average my first year in grade school–it improved a whooping 13 pins!
