Hobbies

In my free time I love painting and cooking.  I love sharing a meal I made. I have been known to make ribs over and over until I could perfect the "fall off the bone" situation. In the fall I love camping with my husband and 2 dogs. There's something about sitting by the fire with a chill in the air,  taking a step back just being grateful for the abundance in my life, even if it comes with a lot of cat hair from 4 cats with a lot of personality.
