I'm in the 50's something age range and have been married 31 years. I have two grown daughters, one dog, my hubby, and four cats who have taken up residency. I love crafts, flowers, shrubs, sewing, painting, cooking(as I cook daily)mostly from the way my mom taught me. Have been a domestic engineer for years now and still enjoy it. If I had a month off and with pay, I'd go to the beach and just enjoy the salt air and the sound of the ocean waves.
