Reading, Fishing, Spending Time with my grans

I enjoy reading various types of books. Fishing is a favorite pastime when I need leisure time. My favorite hobby is spending time with my grans. We often go on trips together, spent lots of time at baseball and softball games where I watch two of them play the game they love. My oldest grand is in her junior year at Valdosta State University.  I visit with her often. We shop and eat out.
