bowling,crocheting

In a bowling league with a group of 6 woman and compete with other league for trophies. We've had this league for over 10 years and gotten first place about 4 years in a row.

Crocheting is a hobby I learned from my mother when I was very young and I got older I found out how therapeutic it has become for me.
