Almost a native of central Florida and a huge football fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Our family has a long standing tradition of visiting the strawberry fields in Plant City and picking our own berries early spring. Last time we went, my daughter and I picked 100 qts. Makes lovely preserves and had a freezer full of RED! If the preserves doesn't set up, then we have a topping for ice cream or sponge cake. If you've never tasted fresh strawberry preserves, you'd be in for a real treat. I've also made blueberry jam (yummy, blueberries are my favorite) orange marmalade and apple butter.
I have four grown children and work in accounting.
I am looking forward to having a garden again, like to grow my own tomatoes and herbs. We all enjoy music (who doesn't) and our favorite movie genre is comedy. My children were raised watching the Marx Brothers, Robin Williams and Mel Brooks.
There is a writing gene that apparently got passed around and some graphic talent.
We're also fond of the computer quiz games "You Don't Know Jack" series and a card game called "Dutch Blitz".
