Im from a small town, my parents were from a small town. They taught me all kinds of educational things which in my years I've learned they are great hobbies to enjoy not just chores. I've always grown a garden every year and have many house plants. I've gone camping since i could remember, which involved fishing and hunting and kayaking. I was in the CampFire Program as a child. With my own children, now all grown, I was able to do lots of crafts and I still do new holiday decor to my house and store. My love for animals came from the dogs I've raised. And now take all my spare time.
