Gardening, carpentry, mechanical work, and time with my family.
I plant a garden every year,and my wife cans food from it every year. We have a flower garden around front porch that my wife help me with. Just recently I helped my 19yo son with his 1995 mustang to get it back up and running again. When it comes to family time we try to spend as much time as we can together but that is hard sometimes but we make the best out of the sitution.
