There are many things I enjoy. In no particular order I like reading, family time, gardening, travel, animals, sewing, crochet, pinterest, crafting in general, games, antiques and so much more. The one thing that I really, really like is.......cooking. Whether it's a simple dish or something more complex, it eventually makes its way to my family's table. I am fortunate to have a family that enjoys all my experiments too
