sitting outside while drinking my morning coffee..got a large open field behind where i live,where i see deer and other wild life crossing it..fishing..camping..hunting..takeing my dog for her morning walks.
Sewing, quilting, reading and traveling. We just returned from Panama. The Canal is a marvel. Hard to believe it was opened in 1913…nearly 100 years ago! The people there were lovely despite my very limited Spanish language skills.
Well, I like lots of things! I love to cook for my family and collect cookware. In the summer I really enjoy bluegill fishing most of all. Year round I read and then read some more! Fall and winter I sew or do hand sewing projects. Right now I am creating a Disney princess jean jacket outfit for my great niece. Spring brings out the gardening, container mostly and herbs for that summer grilling season. But my all time favorite is hanging out with my sweetie! He is my rock, my center and I love being with him. And in between all that traveling to see our DS and family, (in the military) and we do day care for our 4 year old GS. Whew!
you are a busy lady
I play tenor sax in a concert band, enjoy reading and learning more about diabetes. When I find the time then I watch old westerns on the Internet and knit or crochet. My doctor thinks that I'm a busy person :D and likes that. I'm 71.
thats great
Mine is reading oh and fishing with a spinner on the river for German brown! What a way to live!
Ooooh we've got browns here (probably smaller though). They smoke up nice!
are we talking about trout
Yes we are and I will be up in the Poconos standing in a freezing mountain stream trying to hook a few.
LOL Poconos really? you live in my state LOL
Just north of philly.
good luck
Most of the streams around here are junk and not worth fishing maybe that is why I stopped along with other reasons but with more time on my hands I will travel for a good stream.
Now that you mention it, I was. Sure hope SA was too!
I sure was, fighters they are! They're awesome I've been fishing with spinner and have been lucky enough to find some holes where they will jump out of the water for the spinner! What a rush!
Never seen that with a spinner. That's a hungry trout!
must be feeding your german browns too well where you are! LoL!
that would be great to see
I know you guys think this is just a fishing story lol, but am serious this can happen! Happy thoughts to all the great fisherWOMAN around! Lol!
fishing is so relaxing and peaceful I love it
A little while back I would tell you Motorcycling but it is going to change in about a week. I will be retired so out comes the fishing rods. I also like growing veggies, fruit trees and now long walks with Leila my grandaughters german shepard. I guess you can say anything that does not involve work.
good answer
Mine is crochetting, drawing and reading.
mine also is fishing and boating,and reading
Alan
Jayabee and rellypoo
I sent a beautiful love song to you
Pavarotti, he's the best
I thought he would fill your hearts with zest
I can see you two dancing into the blue
Spinning and turning
and a jitterbug too
I thought rellypoo
would sail into port
meet up with jayabee
and do a dance and court
but neither one
had further to say
'bout getting together to dance and to play
It's really sad
and I feel so bad
that for both of you
a love won't be had
It seems this post has faded away
and the dancing and play
will come on another day !

You trying to spark a match Jigsaw? SuzyQ might not like it.
As relly told you don't quit your day job. Check out this mini movie ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i2s3Upm8yM
Plus, if memory serves relly is relationally occupied as well.
also who is to say I haven't PM'd relly my phone #?
Ok, I know i'm not a matchmaker, and I wasn't trying to be ! (-; Two strikes on my poetry, however is blow to my ego ! Here I thought I was an up and coming poet with diabetes. I guess I'll just have to accept just being someone with diabetes ! Thanks guys !!! )-:
how about giving comedy a go I reacon you would be good at it ha ha
So rellypoo you don't think I'm really Poe, instead you think I should be a comical schmo !
thanks for that but dont give up ya day job lol
I already did ! I'm retired. (-;
I like to knit. I take small projects in the car and knit during long drives. We have a 4 hour drive Thursday morning to my parents place for Thanksgiving, so I'm thinking I can get a lot done then!
good idea
Hello everyone.. During my leisure time I enjoy reading, listening to music, knitting and going to the movies.
they are all good things to do
Woodworking. Made this Mission/Prairie floor lamp out of oak and brazillian cherry

You are very talented! Great job!!
Well thank you! Most of it is from wood piles that had already been picked through by the better furniture makers so it was cheap or free. You get all sorts of mis-matched wood grains, but occasionally I score a piece with an interesting pattern that i celebrate like the "pond ripple" pattern on the front of my hall table.
Very nice !
Thanks! Didn't even use any nails!
Just wafers and glue.
No wafers either, all traditional joinery.
lol
I enjoy fishing and boating also. I still play around with my guitars. That goes back to my teenage years when I played in a band. I still like to experiment with music.
I'll try to send you my home made video of my fishing experiences .
We love to go camping. I also love to read. Or read while camping lol. :)
camping is so relaxing
Wish we could do that now.. It's too cold here now.
My favourite would have to be reading a favourite book out on my deck on a cool summers night just watching the world go by.. I also love to cook but that has gone to the back burner for now…
I love cooking also
mine is spending time on DC, Relly. no kidding! I also love to dance when i have the opportunity,
I love dancing also james so save a spot for me on the dancefloor
I'll serenade the two of you with my guitar ! It will be good as long as I don't sing !!!
can't come to Tazmania due to my kidney issues and dialysis, (hoses are too short — LoL!) but when I was on dialysis the 1st time I started dancing again after being out of it for a couple of months. So you'll have to come to Las Vegas. I know of several venues (mainly in casinos) where they regularly have east coast swing (aka "Jitterbug")
I also know several other forms of dance, so you would be most welcome.
Could be the beginning of something ???
Down, boy! LoL!
'OHHHH sole mio !!!
