Camping, reading, sewing

I enjoy the camping lifestyle, traveling, meeting people and exploring areas of the country that I had never traveled. I am an avid reader - reading at least one book per week. I enjoy life as a retired worker who worked 35 years in the federal sector. Arts and craft projects interest me and I am very good at instructing others on how to projects and assisting in project completion.
