Scrapbooking, Gardening, waching old Movies

When i have time I like to scrapbook old photos of family in to personal photo albums.  I like to be outside gardening as well as tending to the fountain in by garden.  I try and watch old movies as often as i can i find it fascinating to see actors from back in the day when they where young and how they became to be a big star later in life.
