There are many things I like to do and usually have multiple projects going at once. I love to read. I learned at a very early age that books could take me places my bicycle could not. The Count of Monte Cristo, Three Musketeers, Robinhood and anything historical. Then came mysteries,animal stories (Beautiful Joe is my favorite). As I got older, I wanted to venture farther and farther away from the everyday world, science fiction was an excellent vehicle. Now, as I look back with a romantic eye, Robert James Waller touches my heart with first love,lost love all over again. I read to my children and encourage them to read. Of course, I still crochet,sew, cook, even dabble in sculpting and painting whenever I get the chance. MsFrogie
