Music, outdoor activities, including flowerbeds, and time with family and friends
I enjoy many types of music, and occasional sing with Karaoke for fun. I like walking on the beach and feeling the sand on my feet and a breeze to my face. I like mowing grass, planting flowers, and attracting hummingbirds. Other outdoor activities include birdwatching, and any other small creatures that may appear. In cooler weather I like grilling, and I like watching Alabama Football, enjoying a cup of coffee or meal, with family and friends. I enjoy my church family and assisting the benevolent team.
